Ahmedabad, October 19 (Daily Kiran) : Western Railway has reported impressive earnings from scrap sales, totaling approximately ₹320 crore for the financial year 2026-27. This figure exceeds its set target by more than 28%.
An official statement released on Monday highlighted that the railway zone surpassed the ₹300 crore mark in mid-October as part of its ‘Mission Zero Scrap’ initiative. This campaign aims to eliminate scrap from its facilities and generate revenue by disposing of obsolete materials.
According to the statement, as of October 16, Western Railway recorded scrap sales of around ₹320 crore, compared to a proportional target of ₹248.97 crore. The total scrap sales target for the financial year is set at over ₹500 crore.
In addition, the railway zone exceeded its monthly goal of ₹55 crore for October during a special campaign conducted this month. This initiative involved identifying and disposing of various categories of scrap, including cleared railway tracks, permanent way materials, damaged locomotives, coaches, wagons, electronic waste, and other miscellaneous items.
The disposal of these materials aims to enhance material management and operational efficiency while contributing to efforts to keep railway premises clean. This initiative also allows the railway to derive value from materials that are no longer needed for operations.
