Nagpur: The Nagpur division of Central Railway has taken effective measures to reduce wagon rejections and boost revenue. The division’s mechanical department addressed the issue of wagon rejections due to damage to the floor, door, and body, which have been causing significant revenue loss to the railways.
In the 2023-24 fiscal year, a total of over 1.55 lakh wagons were reported as unloadable due to above mentioned issues.Out of these, 1.48 lakh wagons (96%) were attended to and made fit for loading through in-situ repairs.
“This initiative has led to an additional revenue generation of Rs986 crore, marking a 33% improvement in wagon attention compared to the previous year,” said Aman Mittal, senior divisional commercial manager (SrDCM).
Mittal said several initiatives have been undertaken to minimize these rejections and enhance earnings. These include the identification of critical coal loading sidings with the highest number of rejected wagons at Umred, Makardhokda, Ghugus, Wani, Majri, Chandrapur, and Balharshah.
“In-situ repair services have been outsourced at all sidings with a high number of unloadable wagons. This ensures that repairs can be carried out promptly and efficiently on-site,” he said.
Mital added, “Depots responsible for brake power certificate (BPC) examinations of rakes with high rejection rates have been identified. Regular reminders are issued to these depots to ensure stringent examinations and reduce rejections.”
