NCRTC has implemented an innovative ‘Solar on Track’ project at the Namo Bharat Depot in Duhai, where solar panels have been installed on the tracks. This is a first-of-its-kind initiative in any RRTS or Metro system in India.
The pilot installation has been executed on the Pit Wheel Track at the Namo Bharat Depot in Duhai, featuring 28 solar panels of 550 Wp each, with a total plant capacity of 15.4 kWp spread over 70 metres of track length. This initiative is expected to generate about 17,500 kWh of energy annually, resulting in an estimated reduction of 16 tonnes of CO₂ emissions every year.
