This initiative is part of India's wider efforts to combat climate change and transition to sustainable development.
The MoU aims to leverage advanced technologies and best practices from the USA to enhance railway efficiency and sustainability.
Key measures include investments in renewable energy (solar, wind), energy efficiency, and adoption of green technologies.
Indian Railways is one of the largest networks globally, and its transition to net zero is critical for India's climate goals.
India's broader commitment under the Paris Agreement includes achieving
450 GW of installed renewable energy capacity by
2030.
The collaboration will facilitate technical expertise exchange and innovative solutions for sustainable railways.
