Many people are often concerned about high electricity bills at home. Have you ever wondered how much the railways spend on electricity consumption?
In India, many people find traveling by train inconvenient. Do you know how much electricity trains consume and how much the railway has to pay for electricity?
Half of the trains in Indian Railways run on electricity, while others run on diesel. It is said that an electric train spends 20 units per kilometer.
According to media reports, electric trains running in the Ajmer Railway Division cover one kilometer at 20 units. The special thing is that electric trains are more economical and cheaper compared to diesel engines.
Speaking of electricity bills for trains, the railway pays about Rs 6.50 per unit of electricity. Therefore, if the consumption of electricity for one kilometer is 20 units, the total cost per kilometer is Rs 130.
Based on this calculation, the railway's electricity bill depends on how much electricity it consumes in a month. Besides this, you might wonder why trains don't stop even though electricity goes out in many regions several times.
The railway directly receives electricity from the power grid. That's why electricity never goes out in trains. This electricity is supplied to substations from power plants. This is why you see electricity at all the stations near the railway station.
