- The Coimbatore Railway Station has received the ‘platinum’ rating from the Indian Green Building Council (IGBC).
- It is the only railway station in Southern Railway and the sixth railway station in India to receive this level of green certification.
- Apart from Coimbatore, the five other railway stations in Indian Railways with IGBC’s ‘platinum’ certification are Secunderabad, New Delhi, Jaipur, Visakhapatnam and Asansol.
- IGBC with the support of the Environment Directorate of Indian Railways developed the ‘Green Railway Stations Rating System’.
- This is to facilitate adoption of ‘green concepts’ in railway stations.
- This helps in reducing the adverse environmental impacts due to station operation and maintenance.
