In a significant boost to railway finances and resource optimisation, the Central Railway has earned a record Rs 459.52 crore from the sale of scrap materials during the financial year 2025–26. This marks the highest revenue from scrap disposal in the last two years and surpasses the Railway Board’s target of Rs 450 crore.

The zone said the achievement aligns with its “Zero Scrap Mission”, aimed at converting idle and waste materials into revenue-generating assets while promoting efficient resource utilisation and environmental sustainability.
