Delhi Metro to install three more solar power plants.

Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is going to install three more roof-top solar power plants in its premises, as a continuation of its policy to encourage eco-friendly work practices and technologies.

These three plants, with a joint power generation capacity of 250 KWP (kilowatts peak), will come up at the Anand Vihar ISBT and Pragati Maidan Metro stations along with DMRC's residential complex at Pushp Vihar.

The individual production capacity of these plants will be 115 kwp at Anand Vihar ISBT, Pragati Maidan 85 KWP and Metro Enclave, Saket with 50 KWP.

The Power Purchase Agreement for installation of these plants was signed recently between DMRC and Noida-based private developer Jakson Engineers Ltd. and approved by the Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI) in the presence of DMRC's Managing Director Mangu Singh and other senior officials.

The plants are expected to start production within next six months.
