Central Railway has embarked on a groundbreaking “Zero Scrap” initiative, demonstrating a relentless commitment to identify and eliminate various forms of scrap within its operations. This dedicated effort prioritizes the removal of overaged locomotives, surplus diesel locos, un-operational rail lines, and overaged or accidental locos/coaches.
Central Railways’ Major Milestone
In a remarkable achievement, Central Railway has achieved scrap sales totaling an impressive Rs 132.47 crores during the current fiscal year, covering the period from April 1, 2023, to August 15, 2023. This accomplishment represents an outstanding 20.41 per cent increase when compared to the Railway Board’s pro-rata target for the same period.
