  • 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.
