This earning is 30.66 crore more than the amount of 265.37 crore made from sale of scrap in the previous financial year 2022-23. The scrap sale of 159.24 crore by Deputy Chief Material Management System and Jhansi Workshop played an important role in achieving this target, stated senior PRO of NCR Amit Malaviya.

Under the leadership and guidance of general manager, North Central Railway Ravinder Goyal, the depots and divisions together disposed of various types of scrap including condemned wagons, coaches, water tanks, steel structures, non-ferrous materials etc as part of the exercise, he added.

North Central Railway has always given priority to scrap disposal and its periodical review has been done at the highest level. This has not only generated revenue but also helped in keeping the premises clean and has also freed valuable railway land for the use of the Railways, the senior PRO explained.
