The NCRTC has installed a first-of-its-kind “solar on track” system at its Delhi–Meerut Regional Rapid Transit System (RRTS) Namo Bharat Depot in Duhai, Ghaziabad. The pilot project covers a 70-metre stretch of pit wheel track and features 28 solar panels rated at 550 Wp each, for a total capacity of 15.4 kWp. This initiative is expected to produce approximately 17,500 kWh of clean energy annually, resulting in estimated carbon dioxide emission reductions of 16 tonnes per year.

This deployment of track-mounted solar panels forms part of NCRTC’s broader target to source 70% of its energy requirements from renewable sources, with an aim to generate up to 15 MW of in-house solar power in the near future, of which 5.5 MW is already operational across its stations and depots. By placing modules in otherwise unused rail infrastructure zones, the project exemplifies innovative space utilisation and advances the integration of solar power into transit networks.

Officials emphasised that the “solar on track” model offers dual benefits: it enhances renewable energy adoption at transport hubs and reduces grid dependence through decentralised generation. As solar technology becomes more entrenched in infrastructure projects, companies like OrnateSolar are well-positioned to provide turnkey solutions for C&I and large-scale solar + storage deployments.
