 GREEN INITIATIVES OF MAHA-METRO
 Adopting and integrating Solar Energy
generation from project planning and design
stage.
 Installation of Bio-digester Technology.
 India Green Building norms for environmental
protection in building design and construction.
 Other Green Initiatives.
 ADOPTING AND INTEGRATING
SOLAR ENERGY GENERATION
FROM PROJECT PLANNING AND DESIGN STAGE
 Metro-Rails are large
consumers of
Electricity

Metro-Rail
system create
large rooftops

Prices of Solar PV
modules are falling

Good Solar
radiation of about
5 kWh/m2/day

Utility power cost

is higher than
Solar power

Eco-friendly
Solar system to be mounted on
specially designed clamps on non-
pierced roofs to avoid water
leakages.

Installation of Solar PV system on

track walls, boundary walls and
via-duct is a rare phenomenon.

Cleaning system for Solar PV

mountings on via-ducts & walls is
difficult.
Installation of Solar PV system is
planned from design stage.

Solar system connected at 415V

auxiliary side and after use for
Traction & Auxiliary purpose, surplus
energy is to be fed back at 132 kV
level with Net-metering.

Maha-Metro is going to tap power at

132 kV grid level and power is to be
used at 25 kV for Traction and 33 kV
for Auxiliary requirement
 SOLAR ENERGY
Phase-I
• 14 MWp
• 22 Million Units
65% of
Electrical
Energy
requirement is
to be met from
Solar
Phase-II
• 23 MWp
• 34 Million Units
 SOLAR POWER INITIATIVES
SOLAR POWER GENERATION RIGHT FROM INCEPTION

In RESCO Model Maha-Metro will

where investment sign PPA for 25
is to be done by a years with the
private party Private Party

Solar energy will

lead to significant
saving in O&M cost
(more than >20 %)

INSTALLATION OF
BIO-DIGESTER
TECHNOLOGY
 BIO-DIGESTER
Bio digester: An apparatus in which organic waste material is
decomposed by microbial(an-aerobic bacteria) action with the
production of biogas. The system is sustainable, totally eco-
friendly, conserves water and produces fuel gas.
Why Bio digester?
 MAHA-METRO wants 100% recycling of used water so that, not a drop
of water is wasted.
 No discharge to public drain leading to elimination of ground water
contamination.
 Less Space required.
 No energy Requirement.
 Maintenance Free.
 Low material/ construction cost.
 MoU was signed with Defence Research Development Organisation
(DRDO) for transfer of technology.
BIO-DIGESTER
Challenges:
 New technology
 Perceived Maintenance Issue
 Costly due to New Technology
 Instead of Bio-Digester, if we go in for septic tank then waste
generation will be aerobic, involves periodic of sludge (incl.
installation of sludge removal pump), bad smell, hazardous
waste, extra space is needed.
Opportunity:
 Construction Phase : Labour Camp, Sites, Office Facilities
 Operation Phase : Stations, Depots & Administrative buildings

 GREEN BUILDING INITIATIVES AT
CORPORATE OFFICE-MAHA METRO……
 Solar charging points provided in parking lot (35% of
total) to encourage/facilitate low/zero emitting
vehicles.
 Heat island reduction –
 Complete roof covered with solar panels.
 Green cover / plant beds – 70% open area
 Water conservation:
 Drip irrigation of plant beds
 Re-cycling of waste water through bio-digester.
 Minimisation of surface runoff through pervious
surface
 Energy Efficiency:
 Occupancy and day-light sensors
 Energy metering for monitoring
 GREEN BUILDING INITIATIVES AT
CORPORATE OFFICE-MAHA-METRO
 Building Materials:
 Sustainable, Low VOC emitting materials,
 Green certified materials
 Use of fly ash in cement and bricks
 Indoor Air Quality testing and management.
 Innovation in design combining aesthetics with energy
efficient:
 Day lighting of maximum space inside building
 Double glazing of structure and windows, combining
maximum daylighting with minimum thermal radiation
 Aesthetic but efficient orientation of solar roof
 Underground parking minimizing requirement of
surfacing and permitting maximum ground water re-
charge.
 Bio-digester for waste water treatment
OTHER GREEN INTIATIVES
ADOPTION OF REGENERATIVE BRAKING IN
ROLLING STOCK

Adoption of AC traction for higher regeneration and lower

energy consumption. Regenerative braking from 70 Kmph
instead of 50 Kmph overcoming the design issues resulting in
additional regeneration of electricity going upto 35 %.

Dynamic calculation of train running parameters to

reduce energy consumption.

Modern design & Light weight coaches.
