## ANSWER

MINISTER OF RAILWAYS AND COMMERCE & INDUSTRY

## (SHRI PIYUSH GOYAL)

(a)  and  (b)  GreenCo  Rating,  developed  by  Confederation  of  Indian Industry  (CII),  has  been  acknowledged  in  India's  Intended  Nationally Determined Contribution (INDC) document, submitted to United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change (UNFCCC) in 2015, as  a  proactive  voluntary  action  of  Indian  industry  /  private  sector towards combating climate change. Assessment  and  rating  of  major  Workshops  and  Production  Units  of Indian  Railways  as  Green  Industrial  Units  started  with  'GreenCo' certification in 2016-17. It helps the industrial units in identifying and implementing various possible measures in terms of energy conservation, material conservation, recycling, utilisation of renewable energy, Green House Gases (GHG) reduction, water conservation,  solid  and  liquid  waste  management,  green  cover  etc. Increasing focus in these areas helps Railways in resource conservation and reduction in intensity of environmental impact. This  system  is  beneficial  for  the  environment  as  the  GreenCo  rating assesses the units on their environmental performance and thus aligns them  to  national  priorities  towards  environment  such  as  energy efficiency, water conservation, renewable energy, waste management, etc.

(c)  The details are appended. (d)  There is no separate provision for new plants.
