The iconic Nizam era Kacheguda railway station in Hyderabad has been adjudged the most energy efficient station in the country.
According to South Central Railway, the station has achieved the feat by replacing 1,312 conventional bulbs with LED lights, 370 ceiling fans with those that run on power-saving motors and by installing energy efficient ACs.
“With these initiatives, it will save about 1.76 lakh units of electricity and Rs 14.08 lakh per annum with reduction of the connected load by 46.18 kW for Railways,” the railways said in a statement.
Kacheguda railway station was built by the last Nizam Mir Osman Ali Khan in 1916 as part of Nizam Railways. Last year the station had its centenary celebrations.
