Building upon its stupendous performance in FY 2022-23, South Central Railway (SCR) achieved yet another crucial milestone by surpassing Rs. 20,000 crs in Gross Originating revenue during FY 202324. SCR registered Rs. 20,339 crs in Gross Originating Revenue during 2023-24, the highest-ever earnings since the inception of the Zone.

One of the major factors for this buoyancy in earnings was the major thrust given by the Zone towards meeting passenger demand on the Zone. The Zone adopted a strategy of continuous monitoring of demand across various directions so as to introduce new trains, special trains wherever necessary and also augment the existing trains having demand through by attaching extra coaches among others. During FY 202324, 6,921 extra coaches were attached/augmented on temporary basis in 117 trains to meet higher passenger demand.
