1. Key Focus Areas
1. Action Plan 2017-18:
1.1. There are total of 41 items listed in the Action Plan for rolling stock 2017-18 as advised in MRS’s DO No.2017/M(C)/141/03 dated 01.03.2017. The progress of these with reference to milestones set will be reviewed on monthly basis at Railway Board. The progress of execution of these items requires close monitoring at the level of CMEs as frequently as needed. The progress needs to be sent by e-mail on or before 5th working day of every month at [email protected]. The list is enclosed as Annexure- AP-I.
1.2. Zonal Railways/PUs were asked to identify additional targets/objectives on the basis of earlier conferences/deliberations held in Railway Board which are relevant to their work areas. The identified targets/objectives can be in the form of new developments / systemic improvements / streamlining of procedures etc. The feedback from Zonal Railways/PUs received in response to MRS’s Letter dt. 01.03.2017 do not confirm this. Following Zonal Railways/PUs have not given the additional targets/objectives – CR, ECR, NER, SCR, SER, SECR, WCR, DMW, ICF, RCF & RWP.
2. Increase in outsourcing of activities and manpower planning
2.1. The benchmarking exercise done as on February 2017 Man Power deployment for certain major activities of rolling stock maintenance indicates varying performance levels indicating scope for better performance of manpower planning in many zonal railways. Railways need to review their deployment and improve their manpower ratio to come closer to the benchmarking standards.
2.2. With increase in maintenance workload without corresponding input of staff, there is a need for increase in the scale of outsourcing of activities. Earlier demarcation of core/non-core activities are progressively losing their relevance in the need for large scale outsourcing. Accordingly, Zonal Railway need to consider further areas for outsourcing as far as necessary and feasible where departmental supervision will ensure the quality output after outsourcing.
3. Computerization of Attendance Management : The new rolling stock code envisages Computerized Attendance Management System in workshops as well as depots as detailed in Chapter 3 under Employees Duties and Responsibilities. In order to improve the attendance discipline at work centers of rolling stock maintenance, Zonal Railways and PUs should switch over
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 4
to computerized attendance management increasingly. To start with each Zonal Railway should put in place Computerized Attendance Management System in at least one workshop and a major C&W Depot / EMU shed during 2017-18. This should be proliferated to cover the balance activity centers in the next year.
4. Review of action taken on the CME Conference items November 2016 & December 2016 Item wise compliance by Zonal Railways & PUs on the decisions taken during the CMEs Conference done on November & December of 2016 shall be reviewed.
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 5
2. Coaching
1. Tejas Train Service fit for maximum speed of 200 kmph shall be introduced by June 2017. Its rake should be well furnished as it will redefine the future of train travel in India. The UDAY trains, announced in the Budget of 2016-17, have to be introduced on priority. ICF may expedite the work of refurbishing one rake of existing Double Decker coaches into UDAY coaches on priority so as to complete the same by July’17 (Board’s letter No. 2016/M©/137/3Pt. dated 20.4.17).
2. Retro-fitment of CBC in ICF coaches The targets of retro-fitment of CBC in ICF coaches for the POH Workshops have already been issued vide Board’s letter dated 17.02.2017. All the coaches turned out from MLR workshops shall be retrofitted, which has also been reiterated vide Board’s letter dt. 22.11.16. This work of retrofitment of CBC carried out by MLR and POH workshops may be done under RSP P.B. Item No. 1254/17-18 as per the targets communicated. Already, 24 coaches have been retrofitted (6 coaches each by JUDW, AMV & LGD W/s and 2 coaches each by PER C/ PER L/GOC).
3. Refurbishing of coaches Newly manufactured ICF design coaches as well as the existing ones already in service need to be furnished/refurbished with more modern interiors and exteriors. The work in 700 coaches under RSP 16-17 has been allotted to CRWS/BPL, ICF, RCF& CR.
However, till date only 57 coaches have been turned out by CRWS, BPL and None by ICF, CR & RCF. This needs to be expedited.
The work has further been sanctioned for 6000 coaches under RSP 2017- 18.About, 2000 coaches have to be refurbished during each of the next 3 years.
1000 coaches will be refurbished to the standard of Mahamana Express (model rake) during 2017-18.
4. Proliferation of LHB coaches It has been decided to proliferate LHB coaches in the Mainline trains running on IR. Railways may ensure their preparedness. Railways may commence the SS1 Schedule of LHB coaches in the identified Coaching Depots.
5. Proliferation of HOG Trains Population of HOG system for Train Lighting & Air-conditioning in long distance trains will be increased to 55 trains from the present level of 10 trains. Indian Railways have introduced trains with energy efficient Head On Generation (HOG)
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 6
system. ICF / RCF are turning out LHB compliant coaches since Dec’16. At present, 13 trains are running with HOG scheme saving approximately Rs 18 lacs per day. In addition, 40 more rakes planned to be introduced during 2017-18. NR, NCR, ECR & SR should expedite the progress. Efforts should be made to complete necessary modifications in all LHB coaches by Zonal Railways. The trains which are planned for switching over from EOG to HOG are placed at Annexure C.
6. LED base lighting All the coaches turned out by workshops after POH will be fitted with LED lights with effect from Dec’ 2017.
7. Reduction in %age ineffectiveness Target for reduction in ineffective percentage is 10% in this year as compared to previous year. This should be achieved by rationalizing the work practices in mechanical and electrical wings of coaching depot during the current year by integrating maintenance attention during IOH / POH repairs in workshops and open line.
8. Proliferation of IT Based Systems : The activities of the Rolling stock department are gradually transitioning from being largely manually driven to being technology driven. Several IT Based Systems that involve the acquisition, analysis and transfer of data are being provided in coaches and Depots. Some of these are mentioned below:- a. GPS based passenger announcement and passenger information system. b. Infotainment system in coaches. c. Fire detection and fire suppression systems. d. Automated door closing arrangement. e. Brake system of LHB coaches. f. LED destination board, etc. g. Provision of CCTV in the coaches. h. On-board condition monitoring systems (sanction and RSP 2017-18). i. Provision of RFID tags for tending, etc. j. Electronic Passenger Reservation Chart System.
WCR have suggested for the integration of some of that systems as mentioned above.
9. Implementation of CMM : CMEs shall certify that: a. All functionalities of CMM and other IT based applications are being utilized on a regular basis. b. The trained staff / supervisors are deputed on a full time basis for ensuring the effective implementation of CMM. c. Depots have uninterrupted high speed Internet access. d. Adequate number of computers, printers, etc. are available in the depots and at other work places.
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 7
e. Computerized systems of record keeping are maintained in the depots so that the data can be easily retrieved and analyzed.
Stating from April’17, a Regular assessment of Zonal Railways’ performance based on Punctuality loss, Enroute coach detachment and Unscheduled coach detachment (Primary / Secondary / Other End) shall be carried out by using the ICMS data as well as monthly data uploaded by the Railways on CMM.
CMEs to confirm that proper systems and procedures are in place for ensuring the operation and maintenance of these systems and that the Supervisors / Staff have been adequately trained. In particular, the AMCs, wherever required, are in place for the effective maintenance and utilization of these systems.
10. Delay in execution of RSP Works:
A lot of delay is noticed in the execution of RSP works including those that are related to Safety. Often, PU’s / Railways are not able to even place indents or there is repeated discharge of tenders and surrender of funds. The fitment of CCTV based surveillance system, Fire and smoke detection system for AC coaches, etc. needs to be speeded up. Proper systems of maintenance for these equipments need to be put in place.
11. Green Corridors
11.1. Five (5) Green Corridors are already functional and eighteen (18) more are identified to be made functional in 2017-18 as detailed in Annexure CHG-I. These corridors must be made operational progressively by consistent follow up with other railways and Railway Board.
11.2. There have been complaints of bad odour coming from toilets and bypassing of bio-toilets. Railways to monitor the percentage of functional bio-toilets in the trains when they are received for maintenance.
12. Progressive Use of Air Spring: To maintain constant height at variable load, air springs are being used in secondary suspension of EMU/DMU coaches. They are also planned to be introduced in mainline and LHB coaches to enhance safety and reliability.
13. Rake / Depot Inspections: The condition of pit lines, lighting and water stagnation needs to be personally monitored by the CRSEs. The deficiencies should be rectified within Zonal / Divisional powers. The rake inspections should focus on the safety of trains besides the condition of passenger amenities. There should be a follow up on the inspections.
14. Second POH of new coaches after 2 years instead of current 18 months: The second POH of newly manufactured coaches is currently done after 18 months. As most of the fittings are new, it is worthwhile to examine whether the second POH can be done after 2 years. This will help in ensuring better availability of coaches and saving of POH cost. As per a rough estimate, nearly 100 crores are likely to be saved by implementation of 2-year second POH.
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 8
15. Punctuality performance on Electrical Account 15.1. On AC account, there is improvement of 6.5% of punctuality loss cases during the period Apr’16-Mar’17 as compared to corresponding period last year. The number of cases have increased on CR, NR, SR, SER, ECoR, NWR & SECR Railways. 15.2. On TL account, there is improvement 24.8% of punctuality loss cases during the period Apr’16-Mar’17 as compared to corresponding period last year. The number of cases have increased on ECR, NER, NFR & SWR Railways.
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 9
3. Freight 1. Maintenance of WD-66 and WD-70 CBC and draft gears fitted in BOXNHL, BCNHL, BLC and other type of wagons Despite discussion and decision taken during last CME Conference, railways have not moved significantly towards making available the components required for maintenance of couplers i.e. knuckles, locks and related components and draft gears. This is seriously affecting train operations as a total number of train parting cases have increased from 331 in the last year to 339 upto February in 2017. It is proposed that use of WD-48-BD-2008 CBC couplers shall be made obsolete from 1st April, 2018 onwards.
In the last CME Conference, RYPS was nominated as the nodal workshop for carrying out the repairs of WD-66 type draft gears and all other railways were advised to convey their requirements to RYPS so that they can include it in their tenders.
Status of progress made by the Railways in- AAC sanctioned: Open line depots & Workshops of WD-48 & WD-70 separately. Procurement of materials for open line & workshops. Railways requirement assessment advised to RYPS for repair of WD-66 Draft Gears. 2. Quality of POH/ROH of workshops is a cause of concern. Report of Quality Audit Inspections carried out by RDSO should be acted upon. Railways shall inform the action taken on the observations of RDSO Quality Audit Report.
3. Repair of A, B and C category unloadable wagons in freight depot – To conserve wagon POH capacity, instructions have been issued that ‘C’ category wagons should not be sent to workshop for NPOH repairs, unless they are due for POH within the next three months. Zonal Railways to provide numbers of ‘A’, ‘B’ & ‘C’ category wagons repaired in open line either departmentally or through outsourcing. Total ‘A’, ‘B’ & ‘C’ category wagon repairs done in open line & repaired by outsourcing separately. Status of staff deployment and/or repair contract placed in nominated 10 Depots for carrying out “C” Category repairs (MGS, VSKP, UDL, TKD, Jolarpettai, ADRA, Bhilai, Gooty, Hospet and NKJ).

4. Train Set 1. DEMU Issues: 1.1. Fitment and retro fitment of FIBA on DEMU rakes. To avoid derailment in case of deflated springs in the DEMU coaches, provision of FIBA (Failure Indication-Cum-Brake Application) device in 1600 HP DEMU coaches fitted with air suspension has been approved by Board. (Letter No. 2007/M(L)/101/2(BG)/Pt.II dated 22.02.2017). ICF and all concerned ZRs to discuss time bound action for implementation. 1.2. Utilisation of 700 HP’s TC & DTC for 1400/ 1600 HP DEMU rakes. Zonal Railways were advised to convert 700 HP DEMU DPCs as Inspection Car, wherever required. Now, Railways reported that 700 HP DEMUs DTC/ TC have become surplus. ICF and RDSO have been advised for studying the feasibility of its utilisation on 1400/ 1600 HP DEMU rakes. ICF and RDSO may elaborate. 1.3. Maintenance of DEMU in MEMU sheds/C&W depots. COM/ER has submitted a proposal for shifting of all Diesel locos and DEMU rakes from HWH diesel shed to other sheds to enable homing of Electric locos. Mobility Dte.of Railway Board has proposed to base 136 DEMU coaches (104 on CR and 32 on SCR) to meet the requirement of DEMUs in Pune, Sholapur and Guntakal divisions. Due to non-availability of maintenance facilities at Miraj, sufficient rakes could not be allotted. The possibility and feasibility of utilising maintenance facilities in MEMU sheds and Coaching Depots for DEMUs may be examined.
2. EMU / MEMU Issues 2.1 Progress of Manufacturing of EMU/MEMU/ Kolkata Metro Rakes as per approved production programme. 2.2 Progress of Commissioning of Air Conditioned EMU rakes in Mumbai sub-urban area. 2.3 Action plan for production of energy efficient MEMU with 3 phase IGBT based propulsion system and regenerative breaking features to replace slow moving locomotive hauled passenger trains. 2.4 Increase of maximum permissible speed of MEMU. RCF should manufacture all MEMU rakes with air-spring in secondary suspension. 2.5 On EMU/MEMU account, There is deterioration of 10.5% of punctuality loss cases during the period Apr’16-Mar’17 as compared to corresponding period last year.
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 12
2.6 Adequate facilities for maintenance of EMU/MEMU trains. Existing maintenance capacities available in various zonal Railways need augmentation. It is planned to introduce MEMU trains to progressively replace slow moving loco hauled passengers trains on golden quadrilateral sections of IR network. Accordingly, Railways should plan adequate maintenance/POH facilities for MEMU trains. To the extent possible rationalizing the maintenance with the existing rolling stock depots with required additional inputs should be attempted before building new depots. Also, strategies planned for overcoming existing shortfall in POH capacity should be implemented as programmed.
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 13
5. Workshops & Production Units 1. Zonal Railways to advise status of the following action plan items, related to workshops, for which executive directives have already been issued:
All PUs to implement International Railway Industrial Standard (IRIS) certification latest by December 2017. IMS Certifications of remaining workshops (Jamalpur, Kanchrapara, Dankuni, Budge Budge, Haldia, Tindharia) ISO 50001 Certifications of Workshops and PUs to be completed by December 2017. 5 S Certifications of workshops Development of ‘Centres of Excellence in Welding’ (NR, SCR, SER, WR, WCR) Development of centre of excellence in maintenance activity/process in each workshop Audit of CTRB/ Bearing overhauling practices by OEMs NABL accreditation of Central Labs on Indian Railways (including RDSO Labs) One STC and One BTC in each zone to be developed as “Centre for excellence” for quality training of supervisors and staff of workshops of that railway. Merger of trades in workshops on lines of Lower Parel/Jamalpur
2. Fire Fighting Readiness in PUs and Workshops:
On 22nd April 2017, there was a fire incident in CRWS, Bhopal where Zero Value Scrap along with dry leaves caught fire. There have been similar cases of fire in other workshops in the past.
Zonal Railways may advise the system being followed for fire readiness in workshops and PUs including system being followed for disposal of “Zero Value Scrap”.
3. Availability of axles, wheel disc, wheel sets, bogie frames in workshops
In course of recent inspections of rolling stock workshops it has been found that large number of axles, wheel discs, wheel sets, bogie frames are lying unaccounted in various areas of workshops.
Zonal Railways may advise the position of availability of these items, workshop wise in the following distinct categories – new, serviceable, repairable and condemned. The above position must be advised distinctly for locos (diesel or electric) coaches, wagons, DEMU etc.
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 14
4. Utilization of newly commissioned workshops:
Newly commissioned workshops like Jhansi (MLR) and Harnaut must gear up at the earliest to work at their rated capacity. These workshops must also quickly gear up for catering to the entire coaching wheel & IOH bogie requirement of at least their home railway.
CME, ECR and CME, NCR may present their action plan on the same
5. Manpower Productivity in Workshops:
Productivity enhancement in workshops is the need of the hour.
Successive restructurings have led to more and more staff being placed in higher grades while at the same time vacancies in lower grades have been surrendered to make the restructuring expenditure neutral. There must also be a commensurate review of allowed time so that restructuring does not lead to reduction in outturn. Further, the extent of outsourcing in rolling stock workshops is very low with respect to outsourcing done in engineering workshops, electrical workshops, open-line maintenance establishments etc. As the holding of rolling stock increases, there is an urgent need to review the level of outsourcing by various workshops so that more and more regular manpower is allocated the core area of ensuring safety, reliability and quality during POH/MLR in workshops.
Zonal Railways to share their views/experiences in this regard.
6. Bench marking of Unit Cost of POH in Workshops:
Workshops need to benchmark POH costing. Presently there are wide variations from shop to shop.
A detailed action plan for cost control (activity centre wise) needs to be made and implemented by workshops. Calculations of on costs must be done ab- initio by both production and repair workshops to establish the veracity of reported figures.
7. Training of apprentices at PUs and workshops:
The allotted slots of training of apprentices in PUs and rolling stock workshops are lying unused in a number of units.
This is a part of Skill Development Initiative of the Government of India and must be utilized.
Zonal Railways and PUs to present status in this regard.
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 15
8. Use of MCDO Portal
The MCDO Portal of Railway Board is a vital database on the basis of which information, regarding various activities and their performance as submitted by the railways/workshops, is analyzed at Board level and is also compiled for parliamentary questions/standing committees/CAG cases etc.
In the recent past, it has been observed that data on the portal remains incomplete with a backlog of more 15 days for some units/activities. Further, there have been requests for modification of data after the same has been submitted on the portal.
Instructions issued vide letter no. 2009/M (W)/814/41 dated 07/08/2015 needs to be strictly followed by Zonal Railways.
Railways may confirm compliance.
9. Training of Staff:
9.1. The new Rolling Stock Code carries certain provisions for improving / enhancing the Human Resource Development particularly under Chapter 4. Action should be taken to implement these provisions in order to upgrade the quality of training of staff.
9.2. IRIMEE has done Quality Audit of all the STCs of Zonal Railways. Some of the STCs have fared very poorly during the audit. All out efforts should be undertaken to improve the quality of training and infrastructure within the next one year.

11. Issues Raised by Zonal Railways and Production Units
11.1. Coaching
Integral Coach Factory
Mainline Self Generating LHB Coaches with Air Springs Manufacture of LHB self-generating coaches with air spring awaits issue of final speed certificates by RDSO. Rakes with self generating coaches will have higher passenger carrying capacity.
Western Railway There are no clear policy guidelines for escorting staff for trouble shooting in LHB rakes. Separate plan head to be created for carriage watering and terminal attention facilities for coaching stock to be controlled by CME.
Revision in specification in Linen: Life of blanket to be reduced from 4 years to 1 year and pillow from 2 years to 6 months. Further, disposable towels to be provided in place of washable towels.
Special powers to be given for quotations in case of termination of service contract. Guidelines for checking of MEMU rake for night stabling issued vide MI-37 of E.D.(PS & EMU) to be reviewed. Further the maintenance instructions for MEMU & DEMU should be uniform in nature.
Southern Railway Separate general conditions of contracts for service contracts.
Model Air Brake shop for LHB coaches.
North Eastern Railway Maximum failure is found in newly built LHB coaches in comparison with ICF coaches such as wheel shelling failure, Primary suspension spring failure, Damper failure, BP & FP failure in Ferrule joint are found in those coaches which were manufactured within two years.
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 54
North Central Railway 1. Interception of New and Off-POH coaches of NCR: A large number of new NCR coaches (including Ac coaches) ex. RCF/ICF are being intercepted by foreign railways, primarily by NR, NER or being diverted to ECR and SCR etc by them. 2. Inadequate time for en-route attention in the new time table effective from 01.10.2016: Association of Mechanical Deptt. in Time Table Exercise: In the new time table effective from 01.10.2016, few new trains have been announced and schedule timing of few trains have been revised. 3. Specified mandatory halt for maintenance at other end: Railway Board vide its letter no. 95/M(C)/141/1 dated 12.09.2016 has stipulated a minimum of 3 hrs halt for other end maintenance (other than PM end) for carrying out the cleaning out the cleaning and attention to passenger amenities besides, continuity/brake power check at each of the other end terminals for Mail and express trains with LHB stock.
4. Paucity of Fund: In the pink book 2017-18 the funds Rs. 1.62 Cr. has been allotted against demanded funds Rs. 9.22 Cr. (works costing below Rs. 2.5 each, PB No. 647) to NCR.
South East Central Railway 1. ICF coaches with CBC: All the existing ICF coaches are fitted with screw coupling. The new built coaches turned out from ICF on account of condemnation, augmentation and new services are fitted with CBC system. As a result there is shortage of screw coupling coaches.
2. Maintenance of Air Brake System of LHB Coaches: AMC charges as well as cost of spare parts are exorbitantly high. Even trade items are also being sold by OEMs at very high prices. Rate contract can be done by PUs like power pack for DEMUs.
Eastern Railway 1. Provision of Covered shed over existing pit line No. 1 to 8 of NCC/SDAH coaching depot against PB Item no. 499 of 2016-17.
The subject work was sanctioned in the year 2011-12 against Pink Book work “SDAH Development of coaching maintenance infrastructure” vide PB item No. 499 of 2016-17 under PH-42 with a sanctioned cost of Rs. 74.64 Cr. Work of covered shed over line no. 1 to 8 could not be started due to inadequate fund provision by Railway Board. In view of above, Railway Board’s kind intervention is needed in addressing this issue which would contribute towards improving safety standards of coach maintenance at NCC/SDAH coaching depot and ensure compliance of Board’s instructions.
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 55
2. Allotment of LHB observation car and inspection carriage fit for 130 KMPH
As per Railway Board’s instruction, proposal for CRS sanction was initiated for the following 4 nos. Trains comprising of LHB rakes with speed of 130 KMPH. a) Sealdah Jammu Tawi Humsafar Exp (22317/22318). (New train) b) SDAH Jodhpur Premium Exp ((22315/22316). (New train) c) HWH to NDLS Poorva Exp (12303/12304,12381/12382). (Speed augmentation from 110 to 130 KMPH) d) HWH-ANVT bi- weekly express (12323/12324). (Speed augmentation from 110 to 130 KMPH)
Northern Railway
1. Trouble shooting of Bio-toilets especially on non OBHS trains. With proliferation of Bio-toilets there is need to put in place a mechanism for trouble shooting of malfunctioning of ball valve/chocking etc. While OBHS covered trains can be attended by OBHS staff, trains not covered under OBHS cannot have such provision. Accordingly CAMTECH/RDSO may be advised to provide a solution for trouble shooting of bio-toilets especially on non OBHS trains.
2. Periodicity for replacing Seat upholstery of LHB Chair cars Seat upholstery of LHB chair cars may be considered to be made a must change item in every SS-3 schedule and the same be incorporated in the maintenance manual.
3. Specifications/drawing & Vendors for sub assemblies Production units have fitted certain sub assemblies viz auto closing doors, seats for AC chair car coaches, water filters, CCTV etc. wherein spare part drawings/sources of supply are not known to the maintenance depot. This creates difficulty in maintenance of these sub assemblies and the depots are compelled to use non standard items which do not gel with the standard interiors. Accordingly production units should be advised to issue specifications/drawing of each spare part along with it source of supply (minimum 3 vendors). Whenever, maintenance is envisaged to be done under AMC/AMOC, Pus may also include AMC guidelines as a separate part of specifications
4. Revised Service Contract conditions for Coach Housekeeping activities Difficulties are being faced in management of contract for coach housekeeping activities as these are governed by GCC for works contracts. A new set up of service contract conditions needs to be issued keeping in mind the present difficulties being faced by field units.
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 56
5. Coach House Keeping Manual CAMTECH may be entrusted to prepare a coach house keeping manual with laid down standard practice of cleaning of coaches with prescribed tools and chemicals. Similarly a system of certification of skills of coach house keeping staff can also be considered which can be made binding on the contractor. Presently majority manpower provided by the contractor staff is untrained and not competent to deliver outputs commensurate with the present issue of expectations by the passengers.
6. Falling of Tube Light Diffusers on Prestigious Shatabdi/Rajdhani LHB Coaches There is a consistent problem of falling of tube light(18W) diffusers in Prestigious Shatabdi/Rajdhani LHB Coaches. The matter has been taken up with Rail Coach Factory ,Kapurthala, Modern Coach Factory ,Raibarelli, RDSO & the OEMs. Copies of letter no.3-Elect/5/TL/LHB-VIII dt.11/01/17 & 13.02.17 are enclosed as Annexure-I.
This issue needs immediate address as dropping of diffusers is not only a safety concern as these may hurt the passengers onboard but also gives a shabby look due to deficient diffusers and hence diminishes the aesthetics of prestigious Shatabadi/Rajdhani Express trains.
South Central Railway 1. Exemption given to MSMEs in participation of Tenders Exemption is given to MSMEs for participation in tenders without paying Tender form cost and EMD. However after issue of LOA, the firms are refusing to take up the work causing dislocation of services. Already two such instances have happened in SCR. Details given below :
i. A tender for Mechanised Coach cleaning (MCC) at Coaching Depot, Secunderabad was awarded to M/s OYNX management services Pvt. Ltd., Noida who claimed having registration with MSME. The firm has expressed inability to execute the work due to unforeseen and unavoidable reasons and declined the letter of acceptance. Tender was discharged and retendered
ii. A tender for Mechanised Coach cleaning (MCC) was processed for Coaching Depot, Kachiguda. Four firms have participated and all the four firms have claimed registration with MSME. Four firms are exempted from paying tender form cost and EMD. One firm M/s Crest facility management, Pune stood as L1, but withdrew its offer before issuing LOA. Tender was discharged and retendered
Therefore Railway board may review its permission of allowing participation of MSME forms without EMD. (CRSE/SCR Lr.No.M.313/C&W/Tenders/286/MSE dt 11.12.2015 addressed to EDME/Chg).

11.2. Freight
Western Railway First POH of BCNHL wagon to be done at 7.5 years in place of 6 years.
South East Central Railway 1. Areas of responsibility for WILD: Requisition for installing WILD equipment in all sections are being placed for operation of 25T axle load. Guidelines may be defined similar to one issued for EIMWB indicating department-wise responsibility for WILD also.
2. Modification in BOBRN wagons to dissipate impact of loading by JCB: At present pay loaders/JCBs are being used for loading in BOBRN wagons. Earlier it was done under chute system.
3. Centre Pivot of BVZI: During rainy season, the track inside sidings area is covered with mud/slurry. So it is difficult to drawn out BVZI, being the first while drawn out, resulting excessive force transmission through BVZI. Hence material composition of the centre pivot pin needs to be upgraded.
South Central Railway 1. Shortfall in credits received for maintenance of BLC wagons.
There is a need for revision of maintenance charges for BLC wagons, as the expenditure incurred by SCR is much more than the money received through apportionment of credits from CDA maintained at Northern Railway. More over the distribution amongst railways needs review. For same or less work load other railways are getting more share of percentage.
Against a total expenditure of Rs.37, 04,72,814/-, this Railway has received only Rs.22,58,30,893/- from the “Central Deposit Account”. Therefore, the scheme may be reviewed so that Railways are compensated properly towards the maintenance of privately owned BLC wagons. This matter has been appraised to Railway Board vide Lr No. AWA/WMS/Container wagons/2016-17 dated 07.12.2016.
2. Shortfall in acceptance of debits by defence authorities. SCR is maintaining 75 Defence wagons (50-DBKM and 25-BWT) The maintenance charges for defence wagons have been raised on Director General Milrail/ NDLS. A total outstanding amount of Rs 5,04,02,285/- is pending with Milrail/NDLS. Defence authorities are contending that debits are to be raised to the extent of POH activity undertaken on defence wagons in a
Agenda of CME Conference May 2017 Page 58
particular year. Whereas as per policy 4 % of the capital cost of the wagons is be charged on all holdings of defence wagons. This issue needs to be sorted out with defence authorities. In this connection the matter has been appraised to Director General (RM) MilRail railway Board cell vide Lr no AWA/Defence Wagons dated 24.11.2016
3. Abnormal rejection of freight stock wheels on CTRB grease seal account. Railway Board issued instructions to withdraw wheels to ensure CTRBs would not complete more than 72 months/84 months based on the manufacturing details available on the grease seal.
Of late, there have been continuous high demand of wheels by ROH depots and RYPS is finding it difficult to meet the same.
In order to ascertain the rejection pattern of the wheels at three major ROH depots, from November 2016, an analysis was carried out taking into account grease seal stamping irregularities & grease oozing out, hot axle incidents etc., and detailed report sent to Board vide this railway letterM.44/C&W/Wagon-RB/257 dt. 31.3.2017. It is suggested that:
CTRB overhauling capacity by POH shops needs immediate augmentation. To overcome the current crisis, CTRB refurbishing contract with OEMs needs to be entered into. SCR has already taken decision to go ahead. ROH capacity of ZRs may be reviewed and augmentation initiated based on wagon holding. This will avoid escaping of wagons from ROH when due. Laser marking practice of CTRB overhauling date on grease seal needs to be introduced on priority. Railway board may take a decision that during 2017-18, in Feb-March, restriction on detachment of wagons for ROH/POH will not be imposed. This measure will prepare ZRs towards liquidating ineffective wagons on CTRB account. The present system of reporting of roller bearing failures to RDSO, reasons and responsibilities does not reflect actual. The correct feedback is being sent to RDSO from only two wagon POH shops. The balance reporting is based on POH & ROH marking on wagon body. The reporting system therefore, needs review for correcting. The present crisis is likely to continue for substantial period. The subject may be taken up for serious discussion during the next CMEs’ conference.

RDSO to provide POH worksheet indicating must change/must drop/must test items for BOXNHL/BCNHL/BOBRN wagon.
The nomenclature and code of BRN wagons modified to EUR rake need to be revised on the modifications stipulating revised speed/working conditions.
Repair procedure for body of BOXNHL/BCNHL may be issued by RDSO, as cutting with PLASMA torch is not possible to remove old patch welded on pillar and other members. It damages the members also if tried.
Different size of hand brake wheels are being used in BOXN, BOBRN, BOXNHL etc. Same size hand brake wheel may be recommended for all such wagons.
BP & FP layout of BOXNHL and BCNHL may be made similar to provide flexibility.
Conversion procedure, drawings & specification and approved vendors of Non-CBC coaches is yet to be issued by RDSO.

South East Central Railway 1. Safety Items for DEMU: Railway Board, vide letter RS/IC/RB letter no. 99/RS(IC)/165/SRC pt.1 dt. 12.01.2016, has defined safety items of different rolling stock including coaching, freight, diesel loco, electric loco DEMU etc. But since material procurement for DEMU coaches is not streamlined in Railways, the DEMU safety items have either not been covered at all, or mentioned in an assembly form in which they are procured by production unit (ICF).
2. Quality of POH of DEMU Coaches: Since 2016-17, LGD workshop is being nominated for POH of SECR DEMU coaches. It is found that workshop is not fully ready to attend all the work requirements POH.
3. D-check of DEMU Engine: D-check of engine is to be done after 6000 hours, and it generally comes after about 18 months, which almost coincides with POH periodicity
Eastern Railway EP unit being an important item needs to be added in ‘Vendor Performance Monitoring System’, on online web portal system for uploading the quarterly data from railway to RDSO.
Enhancement of allotment by ICF/Chennai for ‘D’ check & ‘E’ check of ER 1400 HP DEMUs:
In current RC with M/s. Cummins allotment of ‘D’ check and ‘E’ check for 2 years i.e. 2017 & 2018 has been given as : Rly 2017 2018

ICF proposes to take up the following projects i. Reduction of noise in power cars (LWLRRMs and DEMU DPCs). ii. EP assist brakes in LHB coaches.
Manufacture of LHB Power Car with Under Slung DA Sets
The production of LHB SLRs requires expeditious issue of speed certificate. LHB SLRs have more space for commercial purpose.
New Development of Coach Items
To meet changing needs and expectations of customer technology up gradation and continuous improvement are necessary, PUs are to be allowed to carry out new developments to the extent of 5% of annual purchase grant with local finance concurrence. Board vide letter no. MD/DSS/Policy/209D dt. 20.01.2016 to withdraw above referred Board(Finance) has withdrawn the powers for development of new items.
Participation in Global/Domestic Tender
Pus may to be allowed to participate in Domestic/International Tenders for supply of Rolling Stock/components. This will require empowering Pus to buy upgraded material through global tender and deputing officers/Staff to foreign countries.
Western Railway
Railway should develop their own drawing and specification for air brake system of LHB similar to ICF coaches. Design improvement needed for exhaust air ventilation system of LHB coaches. “V” belt breakages are extremely high, immediate improvement in material/specification is required.

IROAF
1. Proliferation of Solar Energy based Guard Comfort System (GCS) on BVZI Wagon:
GCS has been provided by IROAF on 6 BVZI/BVCM wagons for trials on NR. Trials have proved successful and further fitment on balance 44 BVZI wagon has commenced at ASR workshop, NR. The system will be fitted on more guard vans thereafter. IROAF has circulated operation and maintenance instructions to all zonal railways. CMEs may please take necessary action for developing skills on wagon depots for O&M of the GCS system. Training of depot staff may also be arranged at TKD Freight Depot in consultation with Northern Railway. Wagon no. of converted BVZI/BVCM wagons may kindly be advised to IROAF.
2. Use of CNG as Industrial Gas to substitute LPG & Acetylene in Workshop/Pus:
Use of CNG/PNG as industrial gas for metal cutting & heating purpose instead of LPG/Acetylene reduces cost and is environmentally more friendly. Matunga workshop, CR has become first workshop to switch to CNG on Indian Railways with effect from 15th March 2017. A list of workshops where use of CNG/PNG is feasible based on availability of Natural Gas through City Distribution Gas Supply Companies is enclosed. CMEs may please take action for further proliferation. IROAF shall provide the coordination platform with Gas Companies to facilitate the process as done for Matunga Workshop.

Rail Wheel Plant Inadequate Production Target and WTA allotments not being commensurate with the production plan:
During 2016-17 production programme of RWP, Bela was reduced from 35,000 to 22,500 wheels in June, 2016. However, sum total of WTA allotment over 4 quarters of 2016-17 is only 14,261 out of which about 11,000 wheels have already been dispatched so far and balance would be dispatched during the balance period of March, 2017. Thus, about 8,000 wheels will be left balance at RWP/Bela from the production of 2016-17 due to less WTA allotment. It is understood that production programme for 2017-18 is also pegged at the same level of 22,500. Thus, by the end of 2017-18, WTA allotment over 4 quarters of 2017-18 should be 30,000 wheels otherwise unrealized inventory cost will be high. WMS budget also go haywire due to less credits as budget portal does not support development suspense of more than 10 crores.
Eastern Railway 18 RT/RH /RHV coaches of ER are running over aged. These coaches need immediate replacement. Board is requested to allot at least new 10 RT Coaches immediately to ER.
3 SPART Coaches (3-Coach each) allotted to ER needs to be immediately despatched from ICF.
South Central Railway 1. Fading of Laminated Plastic Sheets Laminated Plastic Sheet (blue colour) is being received from approved supplier & also received in new coaches are getting faded during 1st/2nd POH. The difference is substantial & giving shabby appearance particularly when a particular sheet is replaced. The specification/colour needs to be reviewed by RDSO. CWM/LGDS letters with photos addressed to RDSO & Hqrs are enclosed as Annexure-I.

Non-interchangeability is causing maintenance problem, though the overall dimensions are similar. Due to location of hinges, this problem is being experienced. There is a need to standardise the hinge location.
Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) The supervisors from Design & Drawing (Jig & Tool/Mech) are being utilized in Shop Floor for getting enhanced production. Presently, these supervisors of Design & Drawing are not entitled to get any incentive payment.
In view of the above, directives may be issued from Railway Board for incentive payments to the supervisors of this cadre.
Creation of Separate Mechatronics cadre for maintenance of CNC machines. DMW/Patiala may be directed to restore the order of bogies for early supply and lift the 40 suspension tubes ordered by them. Approval / clearance from RDSO is awaited for registration of Steel Foundary of CLW for casting of BLC bogie and bolster.
