Earnings from Freights in Rs. BillionEarnings from Passengers in Rs. Billion

Economical sustainability initiatives1. Around Rs.15000 Billion capital raised from LIC for development of Indian Railways.2. Replaced incandescent lamps with CFL; there by reducing energy bills by 9M $/year.3. 358 items reserved for procurements from SMEs in India.4. Started procuring cheaper power for central & western railways resulting in saving of Rs. 30B Annually.

Environmental aspects

• One of the largest rail network in world, hence high level of CO2 emissions which can be reduced.

• Generates large amount of wastes due to public transport

• Scope for implementation of renewable energy technologies which has already started.

Environmental sustainability initiatives• CO2 emission reduction -1. Implementation of CReDI technology to diesel locomotives2. Use of 5% bio diesel blended fuel3. Regenerative breaking project for IGBT based locomotives for getting

carbon credits.• Energy saving -1. LED lights at major railway station ( already implemented at Vijaywada

railway station 2. Solar panels over roof tops & rail wagons• Installation of windmill on surplus land -1. a 26 MW wind farm in Jaisalmer district of Rajasthan• Implementation of green toilets -1. Reduction in water consumption by 1/20th to that at present.

ConclusionSr. No. points

1. Based on social economic & environmental initiatives, Indian railway is steadily becoming sustainable.

2. But present rate of improvements needs to be accelerated.
