Planned to make all stations cent percent LED lit by March next year: Indian Railways

In an eco-friendly measure to cut power consumption, the Indian Railways today said, it has planned to make all stations cent per cent LED lit by March next year. <br/><br/>A Statement issued by the Ministry of railways said, it is actively working to provide 100 per cent LED lighting for energy needs in railway staff colonies, stations and platforms. It said, this is a huge initiative to provide energy efficient lighting which will eventually greatly help in the conservation of environment as well. <br/><br/><br/>Till November 2017, about 3,500 railway stations had already been provided with cent per cent LED lights. About 20 lakh such lights were installed. The statement also said, the initiative will reduce consumption by about 10 per cent of the total energy being utilised for its non-traction uses, conserving about 240 million units of electricity, which will save the Railways about 180 crore rupees annually.
