Indian Railways on the Fast Track to Achieve Net Zero Carbon Emissions by 2030 INDIAN RAILWAYS ON THE FAST TRACK TO ACHIEVE NET ZERO CARBON EMISSIONS BY 2030 ACKNOWLEDGMENT The report has been prepared under UK's Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), formerly known as Department of International Development (DFID), Power Sector Reforms (PSR) Programme in India. KPMG is the lead service provider of the PSR Programme. The FCDO's PSR Programme would like to thank Mr. R.K. Jain, Executive Director, Indian Railways and Mr. Manish Gupta, Executive Director, Indian Railways for their leadership and guidance in development of this report. The Programme would also like to thank Mr. Sumit Garg, Director, Indian Railways and his team from Indian Railways including Mr. Jivant Awana, Mr. Jagdeep Singh, Mr. Venus Sehgal and Mr. Ravinder Singh, for their support in providing valuable inputs for developing this report. The FCDO's PSR Programme would also like to express its sincere appreciation and gratitude to all the engineers and officials of the Indian Railways who are involved in enabling net-zero carbon emissions for the Indian Railways through various initiatives. FCDO Program Managers Udit Mathur Adritha Subbiah PSR Team Vikas Gaba Abhishek Shah Tanmay Bishnoi Krishna Kant Tiwari Jatin Arora Rahul Kumar Shyam Kumar Gavin McGillivray Head, FCDO India MESSAGE The current COVID–19 crisis and projected climatic changes present many challenges. Every country and organisation around the world increasingly faces a choice, between laying the foundations for sound, sustainable and inclusive growth or locking-in polluting emissions for decades. The Indian Railways is amongst the few Railway systems globally to have taken the former approach, through its commitment to achieving a net zero carbon emissions by the year 2030. For an organisation of the size of the Indian Railways, this commitment is ambitious, and highly laudable. The United Kingdom’s Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (formerly known as Department for International Development) and the Indian Railways signed a “Memorandum of Understanding for Collaboration on Energy and Sustainability” in December 2019. This is aimed to enable the Indian Railways to meet its objectives of energy security, consumption efficiency and greening of energy supply. This Report has been prepared jointly, as part of the collaboration, to set out in one place the pathway to achieving the net zero carbon emissions target, the major initiatives currently being implemented and areas identified for further action. It also sets out best practices from other Railways systems in the world. I am sure that this report will help showcase the initiatives of Indian Railways and guide other railway organizations around the world in adopting measures for de-carbonisation. I thank the stakeholders who provided valuable insights and viewpoints, and the entire team of the Power Sector Reforms programme for making this valuable and timely effort. New Delhi December 2020 Gavin McGillivray Minister Counsellor Development British High Commission, New Delhi ABOUT THE ENTITIES About Indian Railways Indian Railways, operated by Ministry of Railways is the fourth largest railway network in the world by network, having more than 7,000 stations. Indian Railways annually transports more than 8,000 million passengers and more than 1,000 million tonnes of freight across the country. Indian Railways is one of the largest electricity consumers in the country having consumed app. 20 Billion Units of electricity in FY 2020. Indian Railways is amongst the few Railways globally having committed to become a “net zero” carbon emissions organisation and has already undertaken several initiatives towards the same. About FCDO's Power Sector Reforms Programme UK's, Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), formerly known as Department of International Development (DFID), in partnership with the Ministry of Power and Ministry of New and Renewable Energy, Government of India, has approved a GBP 14 million Technical Assistance titled, “Supporting Structural Reforms in the Indian Power Sector” (Power Sector Reforms Programme) to be delivered up to March 2022 at central and state level. The programme has been in operation from November 2016 onwards, and has been working with various beneficiaries in the power sector. KPMG is the lead service provider for the PSR programme and is working with Indian Railways to help Indian Railways move towards its goals of energy security, consumption efficiency and greening of energy supply through structured interventions and focus on specific implementation areas.

Enhancing speed of trains: At present, speed of trains of Mail/Express trains is below 55 kmph. These are low as per international standards. Segregation of freight and passenger traffic, enhancing the sectional speeds, and rationalization of stoppages are important measures for speed enhancement. The speed of especially the passenger trains is quite low at present primarily because of the coaching stock in use and due to multiplicity of stoppages enroute. There is scope for speeding up of these services by replacing trains with conventional stock by fast moving EMUs/MEMUs/DEMUs. Enhancing the sectional speeds is another enabling factor in speeding them.

  • Chapter 2 Production and Maintenance of LHB Coaches in Indian Railways
    Report No. 2 of 2020 Chapter 2 Production and Maintenance of LHB (Railways) Coaches in Indian Railways Chapter 2 Production and Maintenance of LHB Coaches in Indian Railways 2.1 Introduction Indian Railways have been transporting passenger traffic mainly through conventional coaches of ICF design. These coaches are manufactured at Integral Coach Factory, Perambur (ICF) and Rail Coach Factory, Kapurthala (RCF). A limited number of these coaches are being manufactured at BEML (Bharat Earth Movers Limited)/ Bangalore. The ICF type of coaches have limitations in terms of speed potential, heavy corrosion, poor riding comfort and wearing of parts in the under gear. To overcome these limitations, Indian Railways entered into Transfer of Technology (ToT) contract with M/s ALSTOM LHB/Germany for production of LHB36 design stainless steel coaches. Accordingly, their inception and mass production in Railways was started in 2002. First LHB coach was introduced in Indian Railways network in December 2003. LHB coaches are far superior with respect to passenger comfort, safety, speed, corrosion, maintenance and aesthetics than ICF coaches. These coaches are also Figure 2.1: ICF Conventional coach and LHB coach longer as compared to ICF design resulting into more carrying capacity. The benefits from these types of coaches include: 36Linke Hoffman Busch coaches 25 Report No. 2 of 2020 Chapter 2 Production and Maintenance of LHB (Railways) Coaches in Indian Railways Better Speed Potential – Maximum operating speed of LHB coaches is 160 kmph (tested upto 180 kmph) as compared to maximum speed of 140 kmph in ICF coaches. This can increase the availability of path.
