Solar powered ATM unveiled in Bombay by IndusInd Bank

The matter of saving our environment from any future damage is now being taken seriously by everyone, even banks! With the unveiling of the first solar powered ATM in India, the IndusInd bank has set an example for the others to follow suit soon. On Friday, the city of Bombay saw its first solar powered ATM inaugurated by the IndusInd bank as part of its campaign, ‘Hum Aur Hariyali’, this is just one of the steps it has taken to decrease its carbon dioxide emissions.

The bank has also planned e-archiving, e-learning, e-waste management, paperless fax and also is promoting finance programs with incentives to encourage people to help save the environment.
Punjab National Bank has also made an effort to reduce its waste by stopping the use of circulars and using their internal website to pass around information.The bank also uses dual generators that work on solar energy. The idea of using solar energy to power up ATMs is being used in rural areas too.
The Central Bank of India has also played its part in going green by donating 30 old computers to the Spastic Society instead of disposing them. It is undeniably encouraging to see our domestic banks go green.
