The Central Railway on Tuesday said they have planned to convert nine major stations into green power zones over the next three years. It has identified Dadar, Govandi, Cotton Green, Byculla, traffic building at CSMT, LTT, Lonavala, Umbermali and Thansit stations, for the project.

Tenders have been floated to kick-start the project, which the CR took up after other green plans delivered a positive result. Using measures like regenerative braking — a mechanism where the energy generated while braking is pushed back into the grid — the CR has managed to bring down energy consumption to 71.2 million units this year from 77.8 million units in 2017-18 (April-October).
