Northeast Frontier Railway Converts 12 More Trains to Electric Traction to Reduce Emissions
Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has converted 12 additional train services from diesel to electric traction, bringing the total to 30 for the current financial year. This transition is expected to reduce annual diesel consumption by about 98.55 lakh litres, cut expenditure by approximately Rs 140 crore, and lower carbon dioxide emissions by around 26,411 tonnes. Passengers may benefit from fewer locomotive changes, improved punctuality, and reduced noise and air pollution due to direct power supply from electric locomotives to coaches.
