Electrification of Indian Railways



 Electrification of Indian Railways: Three 100% electrified zones.





Indian railroads are working to become the largest green railroads in the world and is moving towards becoming a 'net carbon emitter zero' before 2030


The Indian Railways of today said that it has achieved 100% electrification in its three zones, which are the Kolkata Metro, the West Central Railway and the East Coast Railway have been fully electrified.


Railway electrification that is friendly with the environment and reduces pollution, has increased almost ten times since 2014. Capturing the economic benefits of electric traction Accelerated, railroads have planned to electrify Broad Gauge (BG) caliber routes for December 2023 to achieve 100%. Electrification of BG routes. The systems of the head generation, biodises and LED lights recreate the train itself in a travel mode that is more friendly with the surrounding while maintaining a comparable convenience of the passenger.


The dedicated freight runners are being developed as a low carbon transport network with a long-term low-term carbon roadmap, which will allow you to adopt more energy-efficient technologies, processes and practices. Go is implementing two dedicated broker projects to Viz. Eastern Corridor (EDFC) from Ludhiana to Dankuni (1,875 km) and Western Corridor (WDFC) from Dadri to Jawaharlal Nehru Port Trust (1,506 km). SONNAGAR-DANKUNI (538 km) The portion of EDFC has been planned for execution in Public Private Partnership (PPP) mode.


The network and scope of the IR network and movement of freight enabled, such as food grains and oxygen in the pandemic, even while they are more friendly with the environment compared to road transport. During the April 20, May 20, May 2021, the Indian railroads moved 73 tons lakh from the food grains and have traveled 241 oxygen trains loaded, moving 922 tankers loaded, which transports 15,046 tons of oxygen to several parts from the country.


Green certifications and implementation of the Environmental Management System:


Mou signed between the IR industry and the India Confederation in July 2016 for the facilitation of green initiatives in IR. 39 Workshops, 7 production units, 8 crazy sheds and a store deposit have been certified 'GREENCO'. These include 2 platinum, 15 gold and 18 silver ratings.


Green certification mainly covers the evaluation of the parameters that have direct bearing on the environment, such as energy conservation measures, the use of renewable energy, reducing the emission of gases from the green house, the conservation of the Water, waste management, material conservation, recycling, etc. 19 Railway stations have also achieved green certification including 3 platinum, 6 golden and 6 silver ratings. 27 Railroad buildings, offices, campuses and other establishments are also ecological certificates that include 15 platinum ratings, 9 gold and 2 silver. In addition, more than 600 railway stations have been certified for the implementation of the environmental management system to ISO: 14001 in the last two years. A total of 718 stations for ISO certification have been identified: 14001.


Indian Railway has incorporated the characteristics of climate change in its own risk assessments and disaster management protocols. As an organization ready to manage risks, and ask the right questions about your assets, routes and investments. Senior management in the many public sectors have been communicating with stakeholders for shared understanding, necessary for the health and long-term sustainability of leading organisations.


The Sustainability Report of the Environment published by IR units and subsidiaries each year establishes a framework document that defines strategies and focus points in the context of climate change, problems at stake, and steps to treat them. It helps railways to support government commitments, such as the Paris Agreement on Climate Change, UN Sustainable Development Goals and national disaster management plans.


Wide variety of experiences of engineers, operators and planners in different areas and units of construction of the Indian Railways faces constantly to DIFF.
