India's first removable solar panel project

• India's first removable solar panel has been installed as a pilot project at the Banaras Locomotive Works (BLW) premises in Varanasi.

• The pilot project is part of Indian Railways' move towards sustainable and green energy practices.

• The 70-metre long stretch has 28 panels installed which will produce up to 15 kW of power.

• The panels are designed to be durable, efficient and removable for maintenance and seasonal needs.

• The project did not require land acquisition as the panels are installed between the railway tracks.

• BLW General Manager Naresh Pal Singh said that 20% of the energy requirement at BLW is already being met through solar energy.
