The plan focuses on segregating waste into three types: wet, dry, and hazardous. Modern technology will be used to ensure that the waste is transported and disposed of scientifically to maximize recycling.
Which stations will benefit and what is the budget?
The project will cover 39 stations under the North Central Railway zone. A total budget of ₹28 crore has been allocated for this purpose. The railway has already started the tender process as of June 19, 2026, to select the agencies that will execute the work.
