Marking a major step in green innovation, the Ministry of Railways has commissioned India’s first-ever removable solar panel system between railway tracks at the Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW), Varanasi. This initiative is designed to enhance sustainability while utilizing unused track space for solar energy production. Alongside this achievement, Indian Railways has expanded freight operations. On August 10, the first rake carrying industrial salt was flagged off from Sanosara (Bhuj–Naliya section) to Dahej. Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw stated that this new logistics solution will create fresh opportunities for the salt industry in the region.
