Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project embraces eco-friendly stationsThe Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project (BSRP) will feature 58 green stations certified by the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC). K-RIDE, the project developer, is aiming for IGBC platinum ratings, focusing on solar energy, rainwater harvesting, and green building materials. The stations will use rooftop solar panels, photovoltaic rooftops, and rainwater...

Green construction techniques, including the use of green concrete with recycled construction and demolition (C&D) waste, will be employed. The project faces interoperability challenges with Indian Railways (IR) due to differing signaling systems and infrastructure. K-RIDE highlights the need for dedicated suburban tracks to maintain sufficient capacity for local services, arguing that the proposed infrastructure by IR primarily caters to long-distance trains and freight. The interoperability of rolling stock on the IR line was not considered, despite SWR's assurances.
Bengaluru Suburban Rail Project (BSRP) mein 58 green stations ban rahe hain, jinko Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) se certification milega. K-RIDE, project developer, IGBC platinum ratings pe focus kar raha hai, jisme solar energy, rainwater harvesting, aur green building materials ka use hoga.

Green construction techniques use honge, jisme recycled construction and demolition (C&D) waste se bana green concrete bhi shamil hai. Project mein Indian Railways (IR) ke saath interoperability challenges aa rahe hain, kyunki signaling systems aur infrastructure alag hain. K-RIDE ka kehna hai ki local services ke liye kafi capacity banaye rakhne ke liye dedicated suburban tracks ki jarurat hai, aur IR ka proposal mainly long-distance trains aur freight ke liye hai. IR line pe rolling stock ki interoperability pe consider nahin kiya gaya, haalaanki SWR ne assure kiya tha.
