Railways will install automatic coach washing plants (ACWP) at Kochuveli, Ernakulam, and Nagercoil for exterior cleaning of rakes with substantial savings in water consumption and manpower.
In addition to these three places, the plants will be installed at Tambaram, Tiruchchirappalli, and at EMU car sheds at Avadi and Tambaram in the Southern Railway. These new 69 ACWPs are in addition to the ones installed at 29 locations across the rail network in the country.
While normal water consumption is 1,500 litres per coach, cleaning by ACWP will need only 300 litres per coach. The use of recycled water is 80% (240 litres) and freshwater use is 20% (60 litres). For Railways, the introduction of ACWP will fetch an annual savings of 1.28 crore kilolitres of water.
