Reducing Cost of Energy for Railways - Inputs

Dear Railways Circle Members:

Railways would like to reduce its energy bill by 20-25%

Diesel and Electricity are currently the major fuels for Railways. With this post we would like to seek your ideas on how Railways can achieve this objective.

Please suggest how Railways can reduce its energy consumption, use alternate sources and any other ways to reduce this bill.

We look forward to your ideas!
