We are glad to announce that Vivaan Solar has once again bagged the contract to set up a rooftop solar power project at a railway station or its related organization. The contract won by Vivaan Solar is to setup 500 KW or 0.5 MW rooftop solar power plant at the Rail Spring Factory, Sithouli near Gwalior, Madhya Pradesh. Vivaan Solar having participated in the tendering process bagged the contract to set up solar PV rooftop project with the objective of generating and supplying solar power on Design, Build, Finance, Operate & Transfer (DBFOT) basis. Vivaan Solar won the tender as it was declared the L1 bidder on account of quoting a price of INR 5.74/unit.

Vivaan Solar managed to stave off competition from other players in the solar power business who were in the fray namely Renew power and Horizon Power. The deal adds another feather to Vivaan Solar’s rooftop solar power expertise. The contract for the project will be signed soon and will help enhance the use of solar power by Indian Railways. This is the fourth Indian Railways project for rooftop solar power plant that has been bagged by Vivaan Solar in recent times after NCR, Bengaluru, and Jhansi. We hope to continue on this path and secure more projects from Indian Railways to boost the use of solar power in India.

Indian Railways on Mission 41K

The Indian Railway recently unveiled ‘Mission 41K’ to save INR 41,000 crore of the Indian Railways’ expenditure on energy consumption over the next 10 years. Under this the Indian Railways intends to move 90% of traffic to electric traction over diesel; the ministry plans to achieve this target by doubling the current pace of electrification. Apart from this the Indian Railways also aim to procure more and more electricity at cheaper rates to save as much as 25% on its energy expenses. Also a target has been set to generate 1000 MW of solar power including 500 MW from rooftop solar power plants as well as 200 MW from wind energy.
