Railway Board orders replacement or conversion of DGs
Change
On Nov. 18, the Railway Board instructed Northern, North Central, North Western and West Central zones to replace non‑compliant diesel generator sets with compliant units or, if replacement is infeasible, convert them to dual‑fuel mode or install Retrofit Emission Control Devices.
Why it matters
The instruction is dated November 18 and targets the Northern, North Central, North Western and West Central Railway zones. It requires replacement of non‑compliant diesel generator (DG) sets with compliant DG sets. Where replacement is not feasible, it allows conversion to dual‑fuel mode or installation of Retrofit Emission Control Devices (RECD). Applicability covers DG sets across railway‑controlled units and references capacity‑based directions for different DG size categories.
Implications
- • Inventorying of DG sets and execution of replacements, dual‑fuel conversions, or RECD installations across affected railway units.
- • Procurement actions to acquire compliant DG units or conversion/RECD retrofit solutions.
