Overview
- The installation places 28 panels rated 550 Wp each on the depot’s Pit Wheel Track, delivering 15.4 kWp across a 70-metre stretch.
- NCRTC describes the project as the first of its kind in any Indian RRTS or Metro system, following an earlier between-track deployment at BLW Varanasi.
- Estimated output is about 17,500 kWh per year with an expected reduction of roughly 16 tonnes of CO₂ annually.
- The setup uses otherwise unused track space to support NCRTC’s stated goal of net‑zero energy consumption across its facilities.
- Under its solar policy, NCRTC targets 15 MW of in‑house rooftop capacity with about 5.5 MW already operational, complemented by regenerative braking on Namo Bharat trains.
