Indian Railways has set a goal to become a net zero carbon emitter by offsetting carbon emissions with non-fossil fuel sources, reducing diesel consumption through electrification of railway tracks, and encouraging modal shifting of cargo and passengers from road to rail. Efforts include harnessing hydrogen gas to power train sets. The completion of electrification projects is influenced by factors such as forest clearances, statutory approvals, and climatic conditions. The majority of the Indian Railways' Broad Gauge network has been electrified, significantly reducing carbon emissions. To increase the share of renewable energy, a mix of solar, wind, and other sources is being utilized, with a focus on strategic power procurement. Various renewable power projects have been undertaken through Power Purchase Agreements. As of February 2025, Indian Railways has commissioned 553 MW of solar power, 103 MW of wind power, and 100 MW of Round The Clock (RTC) hybrid power. The Union Minister of Railways highlighted these initiatives in a written reply in Rajya Sabha, emphasizing the government's commitment to sustainable and eco-friendly practices.
