Indian Railways has built a special type of solar platform at Vijayawada station, which will reduce the cost of railways by lakhs of rupees and will also benefit the environment a lot.
Indian Railways is working on new innovations. Recently, many inventions have been seen in the railways, which are not only making the travel experience better for the passengers, while reducing the cost as well as causing less damage to the environment. In such a situation, now the railway has done a similar experiment at Vijayawada station, which is really surprising. This will not only increase the savings of the railways, but will also give a pleasant experience to the customers.
Now Union Railway Minister Piyush Goyal has given this information through Twitter and has told about this unique platform of India. In such a situation, know what is special in it, due to which it is being discussed a lot all over the world. Know about this special platform of Vijayawada, which is a really surprising experiment…
Solar shelter built for the first time
Actually, instead of shelters, solar panels are installed on the platform at this station. Through these solar panels, electricity is made through solar energy and passengers are also made shelters from this panel. By the way, this experiment done at Vijayawada station is quite innovative. Now this is the first station, where such shelters have been built, from which electricity is also being generated. These panels generate electricity up to 130 kWp capacity.
According to the information given by the Railway Minister, Vijayawada station is the first station in India, where solar photovoltaic cover-over-platforms have been made. The Railway Minister said that Rs 8.1 lakh will be saved annually and it will meet 18 per cent power requirement of the station. Also, it will act as a shelter on the platform. You can guess from the pictures how it is made.
Vijayawada Station becomes the first in India to be equipped with an innovative solar photovoltaic cover-over-platform. It will:
✅ Ensure savings of ₹8.1 lakh p.a.
⚡️ Meet 18% power requirements of the station, reducing carbon emissions

These are BIPV solar roofs, from which electricity will also be generated. With this, 2.2 lakh units will be made every year, which will benefit the railways of lakhs of rupees. Let us inform that earlier in December 2019, 65 KwP capacity panels were installed in platform 4 and 5 of the station and now this innovation has been done on other platforms as well.
History was created by supplying oxygen
Let us inform that Oxygen Express trains achieved a milestone in the service of the country by supplying more than 35,000 MT of LMOs. Oxygen has been supplied across the country by 477 Oxygen Express and Oxygen Express trains have so far carried 1,990 tankers and brought relief to 15 states. Oxygen Express has supplied more than 20,500 MT of LMOs to the southern states of the country.
