Delhi pollution: Railway Board asks 4 zones to replace, convert non-compliant diesel generators

The Railway Board has asked four zones to replace or convert non-compliant diesel generator (DG) sets in line with the directions of the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) for controlling air pollution in Delhi-NCR.

In a letter dated November 18, the Board told the Northern, North Central, North Western and West Central zones to “replace the non-compliant DG sets with compliant DG sets”.

It added that if replacements are not possible, the zones can either convert the DG sets to dual fuel mode or install with a Retrofit Emission Control Device (RECD).
