Answer 1

Answer:

C. Electrify broad gauge & use renewables.

• Indian Railways is reducing carbon emissions by electrifying its broad-gauge railway network and increasing the use of renewable energy sources such as solar and wind power.

• Electrification reduces dependence on diesel locomotives, lowers greenhouse gas emissions, and improves energy efficiency.

• As part of its green initiatives, Indian Railways aims to become a net-zero carbon emitter by 2030.
