Green High-Speed Rail Rating System
• Indian Green Building Council (IGBC) in association with the National High-Speed Rail Corporation Ltd (NHSRCL) has launched the world's first exclusive Green rating system for High-Speed Rail.
• This first of its kind green rating system is formulated for the upcoming 508.17 km long Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train corridor which is the country’s first high-speed rail project.
• The objective of the rating is to facilitate the adoption of green concepts, reduce the adverse environmental impacts due to station operation & maintenance, and enhance the overall commuter experience at the station.
• Green Railway Stations rating system is designed primarily for existing Indian railway stations. It will help the station management to understand their present position with respect to the ‘green performance’ of the station and the measures that need to be taken to enhance the performance on a continual basis.
