Delhi Metro Solar Power Project

ongoing

India’s Delhi Metro now 60 percent solar powered. 290 trains across 373 kilometres serving 2.6 million passengers in a single day are now green as more than half of the Delhi Metro transport system now runs on solar power coming all the way from Rewa in Madhya Pradesh. The Ultra Mega Solar Park in Rewa’s Gurh tehsil is among the largest single-site solar power plants in the world at 1,590 acres, with 24 percent of the park’s solar energy being sold directly to the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC). This will help DMRC reduce its dependence on coal and also save Rs. 793 crore on its energy over the next 25 years.
