NCRTC Launches Solar Power Plant at Duhai Depot for RRTS Project
As per officials, the whole project is planned to adopt and harness solar power by establishing 25,000 solar panels at 25 stations and two major depots in Duhai and Modipuram.

The RRTS project plans to travel RapidX trains between Delhi and Meerut to facilitate rapid connectivity. The in-built speed of these trains is 180kmph.
As per officials, the whole project is planned to adopt and harness solar power by establishing 25,000 solar panels at 25 stations and two major depots in Duhai and Modipuram.
NCRTC stated, “The solar power plant has an installed capacity of 585 kWp (Kilowatt peak power output), with solar panels installed at various depot buildings, including the workshop. This solar plant is expected to generate approximately 666,000 units of solar energy per year over its estimated lifespan of 25 years. The plant is expected to reduce CO2 emissions by 615 tonnes per year, contributing to a remarkable reduction of 15,375 tonnes over its lifetime”.
NCRTC officials added, “The solar plant at Duhai Depot not only has enough capacity to power the entire depot but there will be enough surplus left over to be used in other RRTS operations. We anticipate that approximately 25,000 solar panels will be installed at the stations and depots along the entire 82km RRTS stretch. The entire solar installation will be able to produce at least 11MW of power using solar energy, which is cheaper than electricity.”
According to the current available space, they estimate that 16 of the project’s 25 large stations can receive around 1,100 solar panels on their rooftops, whereas the rest nine smaller stations can get about 400 solar panels.
