Indian Railways Tops Scrap-Sale and Non-Fare Revenue Targets in FY 2025–26

The outperformance signals a shift to monetising idle assets to fund upgrades without raising fares.

Overview

  • Indian Railways reported Rs 6,813.86 crore from scrap sales in FY 2025–26, beating its Rs 6,000 crore goal.
  • Non-fare revenue reached Rs 777.76 crore in FY 2025–26, topping the Rs 720.85 crore target.
  • The scrap push built on FY 2024–25 results, when sales hit Rs 6,641.78 crore against a Rs 5,400 crore goal.
  • Officials said a transparent disposal system cleared idle materials from depots and workshops, which freed space and fed recycling.
  • To grow non-fare income, the Railways awarded station slots for company-owned single-brand outlets, with 22 premium brands allotted to boost services and revenue.
