loading sidings has resulted in reduction of rejections of wagons
to bare minimum. The details of repaired wagons are as under:
No. of wagons Wagons Anticipated
No. of Rakes
Year attended in attended per earnings one day

sidings Month utilization *
2020-21 8109 37168 3097 ₹ 110 crores
2021-22 12486 45423 3785 ₹ 133 crores

(Apr-Oct) 6169 26789 3827 ₹ 78 crores
* Cost of detention of wagon per hour is ₹1233 (Cost Circular No. 01 of 2021)

these repaired wagons and also in increased availability of
wagons for traffic use, which otherwise were running as
unloadables.
