Indian Railways has always embraced sustainability as one of its core agenda and over the decades has constructively and progressively build on this imperative. We have consciously imbibed sustainable and Eco-friendly approaches across the spectrum of Indian Railways. As part of our efforts to reach excellence in sustainability in our operations, a MoU was signed with CII. As part of the MoU focusing on making our rolling stock production and maintenance workshops more sustainable has culminated in the adoption of CII’s GreenCo Rating system. I am pleased to note that the GreenCo rating is encouraging team to pursue manufacturing excellence in workshop/production units. I appreciate all my colleagues who played a vital role in receiving the prestigious GreenCo rating for their unit. All units have taken up many initiatives in reducing their energy consumption and substituting with renewable energy sources, thereby moving towards reducing the carbon footprint. Work on water conservation and waste/material management are other areas where the units have taken major steps under the rating framework and efforts to improve their rating level. Green efforts of the units have extended beyond their boundary as many units have started greening their supply chain taking cue from the rating framework of GreenCo. This excellent publication is a testimony of Indian Railways commitment to facilitate greener and healthier India. We will continue to do the good work and set new global benchmarks in energy arid environmental management. I thank CII for partnering with Indian Railways and we look forward to work more closely with team CII in taking forward the National green agenda.

Yours sincerely,

Key Achievements

Innovation

1. Specific Electrical Energy consumption has reduced from 4182 KWh in 2018 to 2890 KWh in 2020.

Filtering the drained coolant water into storage/recirculation tanks is started to avoid wasting the coolant water. For that a water filter cartridge is fitted between coolant water storage/ recirculation tanks under the bays and pipe line to fill the expansion tanks of locos. This has eliminated the chances of recycled water becoming turbid, in course of service. With this, the practice of wasting/rejecting the coolant water of heavy schedule locos is avoided, resulting in less coolant water requirement in the locos.

2. Offsetting of Grid Electricity by Renewable energy has increased from 6.34% in 2018 to 21.88% in 2020. 3. Specific Water consumption has reduced from 60.06 Ltr/Day in 2017 to 36.56 in 2020. 4. Specific GHG has reduced from 1.09 T of CO2 in 2017 to 0.81 T of CO2 in 2020.
