NEW DELHI: The National Energy Management Centre (NEMC) has been set up at the office of REMC Ltd, a division of RITES Ltd. The center's goal is to coordinate and manage the nationwide energy purchase for the railroads.

The state-of-the-art National Energy Management Centre was inaugurated by Naveen Gulati, member, Railway Board, in the presence of Rahul Mithal, CMD RITES and chairman REMC Ltd, and additional member, traction, Railway Board.

The 17 State Energy Management Centres that are active throughout the Railways are now reporting energy data to the National Energy Management Centre. The NEMC would act as a hub, providing Indian Railways with a practical single-window service.
