Railways solar plans find no takers yet again
Railway Energy Management Company has extended the deadline for at least six times since June 16, 2020 when the tender was first floated. December 20, 2020 / 12:53 PM IST
The Ministry of Railways plan to promote renewable energy is going off track as the developers are giving its tenders a miss every time.
And at the heart of the problem is land which must be allocated for such projects that aim to meet the Railways’ own energy consumption requirements. And land, claim those in the know, is a very contentious issue for the Indian Railways.
Industry sources told Moneycontrol that developers are finding the model adopted by Railway Energy Management Company (REMC) unviable since the tiny land parcels identified by the Indian Railways are located at distant locations and often difficult to access for such solar projects.
