South Central Railway (SCR), in a significant stride towards ‘Mission Zero Scrap’, has recorded ₹ 315.05 crore revenue through scrap sales in the financial year 2021-22, much more than the ₹ 308 crore collected in the last financial year through the e-auction.
Secunderabad division recorded the highest ever single day auction sale of ₹5.71 crore in March, 2022. SCR has been a pioneer among Indian Railways in making efforts to achieve scrap-free status, for which the zone has been consistently receiving the Railway Board’s Efficiency Shield for Materials Management continuously for the past 10 years.
The teams concerned ensured that no scrap was accumulated either for a month or a truck load of quantity without processing it for disposal. This practice has contributed towards clearing out workshops, loco sheds, railway units and premises, said General Manager in-charge Arun Kumar Jain, in a press release .
