Description
Description | Nagpur Metro installed India's first between-track solar photovoltaic system at the Hingna depot. The 50 kWp solar PV system is placed along a 200-metre section between operational tracks, designed to withstand train vibrations and safety requirements. It is expected to produce about 70,000 units of electricity annually and reduce carbon emissions by approximately 65 tonnes per year. The project was implemented under a public-private partnership model without upfront capital investment by the metro authority, and the electricity generated will be used for captive consumption within the metro system. |
