IB valley region and Korba region have clusters of coal loading sidings. In each region 30 rakes each, coal is loaded every day. No. of wagons in a rake are rejected as unloadable. The unloadable return embedded empty, incurring loss in earnings.
SECR has undertaken works of attending these rejected wagons before loading by doing temporary repairs, thus making loadable for at least one movement. The work is outsourced using mobile van loaded with Generator and Welding sets. The repair raw material MS plates are also loaded in Mobile van.
The wagons rejected by siding authorities are attended and made temporary loadable. On an average 259 and 186 rejected wagons are made temporary loadable per day at IB valley region and Korba region respectively.
Thus loss of earning @ Rs. 16000/Wagons/Day to the tune of Rs.71.2 lakhs is saved. In the process expenditure incurred is Rs. 0.59 lakhs per day.
By this process SECR is saving/earning about 70.61 lakhs per day.
