Lord “SUN” is being worshipped as a sole source of life on earth since ancient times. The estimated power released by the continuous fusion reactor is the order of 3.8*???????????????? watts out which mother earth intercepts 1.78*???????????????? watts. The rapid technology advancement literally ignores this purest form of energy due to easy availability of conventional fuels till 1973 when the first oil embargo shook the world. This oil crisis aided with increased awareness towards the new invention in renewable energy. In this study , a study was carried out to access the feasibility of installing solar photovoltaic modules at the top of Indian railway Linke Hofmann Busch coaches. This reduces the usage of diesel in trains and there is a significant reduction in C???????? and N???????? emissions. Implementation of this scheme for all 178 trains running under Indian railway services there will be annual savings of 95000 crore rupees corresponding to 17361 kilometers of diesel and an annual reduction of 46129 tons of C???????? AND 337.873 tons of N???????? emissions.
