Renewable Energy Push: Adoption of solar, wind, and hybrid power to reduce dependency on fossil fuels. 756 MW of renewable power has been commissioned so far: 553 MW Solar (Rooftop + Land) 103 MW Wind Energy 100 MW Hybrid (Solar + Wind) for Round-The-Clock (RTC) power

Hydrogen-Powered Trains: Indian Railways is actively exploring hydrogen fuel technology to power train sets, reducing carbon footprints further.

Challenges & Solutions Project Delays: Factors like forest clearances, shifting utilities, law & order issues, and climatic conditions impact project timelines. The government is working on fast-tracking approvals and streamlining execution.

With its aggressive electrification drive and renewable energy expansion, Indian Railways is steadily advancing towards its Net Zero Carbon Emission target while ensuring a sustainable, efficient, and greener future for railway transport.
