Iron pillars are being installed at Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus to build the skeleton for solar panels, which will power the station

Chhatrapati Shivaji Terminus (CST) could soon become the first railway station to operate on solar energy. Central Railway (CR) authorities have begun the basic work of installing iron pillars to build the skeleton for these solar panel frames, which would generate 100 kilowatt (kw) electricity. Sources said this electricity can be used to power not only two of their office buildings, but also lights, fans and other machinery inside food stalls at the station.
