Explanation:

Trains in India are all set to run on wind and solar energy. Railways has invested INR 160 crore to establish a wind power project in Dangri, Fatehgarh’s Jaisalmer district. Union rail ministry is set to lower diesel consumption and fuel expenses by running engines and trains on non conventional sources of energy.
