Last month Indian Railways' first solar-power augmented diesel-electric train chugged into Haryana from a neighbourhood in Delhi. Its six coaches are equipped with 16 solar panels on the roof and will be used to power all electrical appliances inside. The Railways hope to reduce 239 tonnes of carbon dioxide emissions by saving approximately 90,800 litres of diesel on the train.
