STEEL THIRD RAIL REPLACEMENT WORK WITH HIGHLY CONDUCTIVE ALUMINIUM THIRD RAIL FOR STOPING 50000 TONS CARBON EMISSION STARTED IN BLUE LINEKolkata Metro is replacing its existing steel third rail with a highly conductive aluminum third rail on the Blue Line. This initiative will significantly reduce energy losses, leading to faster train acceleration and shorter travel times. The new aluminum third rail, manufactured in Germany, has been shipped to Kolkata and installation...
more... has begun at Girish Park and Maidan stations. The project aims to replace 35 km of third rail over the next two years. This upgrade will improve efficiency, reduce operational costs, and decrease carbon emissions by 50,000 tons over the lifetime of the aluminum third rail. The aluminum third rail requires less maintenance, is more stable, and generates less heat in the tunnels. The work is being done during the night to avoid disrupting regular service.
Kolkata Metro apna Blue Line pe existing steel third rail ko highly conductive aluminium third rail se replace kar raha hai. Isse energy loss bahut kam hoga, jisse train jaldi accelerate karegi aur travel time kam hoga. Germany me banaya gaya yeh naya aluminium third rail Kolkata aagaya hai aur Girish...

Is upgrade se efficiency badhegi, operational cost kam hoga, aur aluminium third rail ki lifetime me 50,000 ton carbon emission kam hoga. Aluminium third rail ko kam maintenance ki jarurat hai, yeh zyada stable hai, aur tunnel me kam garmi produce karta hai. Yeh kaam raat me kiya ja raha hai taki regular service pe koi asar na pade.
