Central Railway stations have 100% LED lights now

Nagpur: The Nagpur Central Railway stations has taken a lead in energy conservation by providing 100% LED lights at all stations in the division.“Not only LED lights, various initiatives in the current year have been implemented in proliferation of clean and green energy and reducing non-traction energy bill,” says divisional railway manager Brijesh Kumar Gupta.Gupta said the work to install 100% LED lights has been completed by pooling help from Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) and pulling in CSR funds from corporates.

The task has been accomplished on March 17.The division has also provided GSM-based pump operation and water level controllers in pumps to avoid wastage of water which in turn results in energy saving.“Input force of water from Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) has been used to bypass two 20 HP pumps at Nagpur station .

This is likely to result in savings of about Rs6 lakh per year,” said Gupta.“As a part of our objective to provide energy-efficient system, we have provided chiller-based air cooling system at lobby and running room at Amla.

This arrangement will consume less energy as compared to air-conditioners and will provide the same comforts,” Gupta informed.With the help of Energy Efficiency Services Limited (EESL), a joint venture company of public sector units (PSUs) of ministry of power, the Nagpur division has changed all tubelight fittings and fans in DRM office, railway hospital and electric loco shed at Ajni.

The work of replacing air-conditioners will start soon.In an another initiative, the division has provided 35 solar street lights and 53 solar home light systems at level crossing gates.
