  • Kankaria Coaching Depot in Ahmedabad became India’s first ‘water neutral’ railway depot.
  • It saves around 1.60 lakh litres of water every day through reuse and treatment systems.
  • The depot treats wastewater using phytoremediation, a natural process using plants to clean water.
  • Water is further purified through filtration and UV disinfection for reuse in railway operations.
  • The initiative supports water conservation, reduces freshwater use, and promotes eco-friendly railway operations.
