So far, tenders for 248.46 MW capacity have been awarded by Railway Energy Management Company Ltd. (REMCL) and are under different stages of execution. This will cover the rooftops of Railway station platforms shelters and various other Railway buildings. The details of Zone-wise Solar rooftop projects awarded by REMCL are as under: Indian Railways has plans to provide 500 MW rooftop solar plants by 2021-22.
