CHAPTER XV
ROLLING STOCK PROGRAMME
1501. Annual rolling stock programme is a follow up of the Five Year Plans, formulated for the Indian Railways in respect ofacquisition of rolling stock.
1502. The planning process for the Five Years Plan is detailed out in Chapter VIII, under the heading of "Operational and FinancialPlanning" of the Indian Railway Administration and Finance�An Introduction. It may be summarised as under:�
(i) Appointment of Steering Groups consisting of representatives of various economic Ministries and the Planning Commission bythe Planning Commission well in advance of the commencement of Five Year Plan for covering various facets of the plan.
(ii) Setting up of Working Groups by each Ministry under aegis of Planning Commission. The Ministry of Railways are generally theconveners of the Working Groups on�
(a) Freight traffic projections:
(b) Passenger traffic projections; and
(c) Formulation of Railway Development Programmes.
(iii) The Working Groups after taking into consideration the total freight and passenger traffic likely to be carried in plan period onthe basis of sectoral analysis, fix the traffic targets and then examine it in exercising to determine the approximate requirement ofthe rolling stock in respect of wagons, carriages and locomotives.
(iv) The draft plan thus prepared is taken up for detailed discussion in the Planning Commission and adjustment made dependingupon the financial resources available. The final plan thus emerged is subject to periodical reviews based on the growth ofexpected traffic. This review is conducted under the aegis of Planning Commission jointly with the economic Ministries andshortfalls and fluctuations are analysed and necessary alterations made in the plan.
(v) The five Year Plan so formulated is implemented through action oriented annual plan. A draft annual plan is discussed in ameeting with the Planning Commission at which the Finance Ministry is also associated.
1503. Provisions-for new rolling stock in the annual rolling stock programme is made atleast three years in advance in the case Oflocomotives and two years advance in the case of wagons and carriages to match the requirement in each year of the plan periodand to provide lead time in arranging supply of imported and indigenous items of components for manufacturing of rolling stock.The provisions required to be made in the rolling stock programme on replacement account is arrived at by projecting the likelycondemnation in the period for which the plan is made.
1504. Preparation of Draft Programme.�The Chief Operating Superintendent should therefore prepare a programme showingthe additions and renewals of locomotives, carriages and wagons, which he considers necessary to be carried out during thesecond succeeding financial year in order to meet transportation requirements, adequately giving his reasons for each item in theprogramme, and submit this to the Chief Mechanical Engineer, for including any items of additions and/or renewals of boilersbefore finally submitting it to the General Manager for his approval. For the purpose of allocation of the estimated costs betweenCapital and Depreciation Reserve Fund, in the case of renewals, particulars should be given of cost, tractive effort, 'floor area,carrying capacity, &c, in respect of both the old and the new stock.
1505. Reductions in the Authorized Rolling-stock.� Each Railway Administration is authorized by the Railway Board to keep aspecified number of rolling-stock which is referred to as authorized stock.
The following rules should be observed in regard to the proposals for reduction in the authorized stock:�
(1) Sanction to the reduction in the numbers of authorized stock should be sought only in those cases in which it is fairly certainthat the stock would not be required in the near future.
(2) (a) When a reduction in the authorized stock is sanctioned, an estimate should be prepared writing down the original cost ofsuch stock from Capital by debit to Depreciation Fund.
(b) The estimate should show, parenthetically and for purposes of information only, the estimated value of the released materials.No adjustments should be made at this stage of the cost of such released materials, and the estimate should be closed promptlyby the adjustments being carried out in the accounts.
(c) Simultaneously with the above adjustments being made, the stock in question should be removed from the list of authorizedstock and brought on to a separate list of 'Stock reduced from the authorized list', which will be printed as a supplement to theannual statement of statistics in the analysis of working of the railway. As and when such stock gets broken up and the materialsare released there from, the cost of released materials should be credited to Depreciation Fund by per contra debit of StoresSuspense (or other head of account). The cost of released materials so adjusted should be shown against the appropriate itemsin the list of reduced stock, which should be reviewed from time to time to see that such adjustments are actually carried outwhen the stock is broken up.
(3) The procedure set out in rules (1) and (2) above should be followed also in the case of materials released from replaced stockthat is not immediately broken up.
7/8/14 CHAPTER XV ROLLING STOCK PROGRAMME 1501
www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/codesmanual/MechDept/Mechanicalch15_data.htm 2/34
that is not immediately broken up.
Note: Whenever Rolling Stock which is held as part of the authorized Rolling Stock is condemned prematurely either due to havingbeen involved in accident or for any other reason without being replaced immediately as the replacement of such condemnedstock through programmed deliveries would normally take considerable time, reduction in the number of authorised stock to theextent of number of rolling stock so condemned prematurely should be effected and reverse adjustment as required in Note I ofpara 903 GI may be carried out as and when such reduced stock is subsequently replaced.
1506. Rolling-stock Additions�"Renewals" of rolling-stock should always take precedence of "Additions", and no new rolling-stock should be obtained as an addition, if the actual stock of such class in existence on the line is below the authorized stockfor the railway of that class. When additions to rolling-stock are made under classes in respect of which there has previouslybeen a reduction of authorized stock, the new stock should be considered to have replaced the stock previously reduced. For thispurpose the list of "Stock reduced from the authorized list" should be carefully examined and if it is found that similar items ofstock have been reduced from the authorized list in the past, the cost of the (corresponding) additional stock now providedshould be allocated in such a manner that debit to Capital on account of such stock does not exceed the amount that wouldhave been debited thereto, had the stock in question been considered, in the first instance, as 'replaced' and not as 'reduced'from the authorized list.
1507. For the purposes of he above rule, rolling stock should be divided into the following classes, but if there is any doubtwhether a particular item belongs to the one class or to the other, the decision of the Railway Board should be obtained.
Class Particulars
1 Locomotives, steam including "Spare boilers" (paragraph 1516), internal combustion and battery.
2 Locomotives, electric.
3 Locomotive Diesel.
4 Coaching stock (suburban, motor units).
5 Coaching stock, self-propelled.
6 Motor Troilers.
7 Saloons.
8 Tourist cars and Restaurant cars.
9 Coaching stock, upper class, including all vehicles in which air-conditioned or first class accommodation isprovided.
10 Coaching stock, including brake, luggage and postal in which second or third class accommodation is provided.
11Other coaching vehicles including brake, luggage, postal, motor, fruit, fish, poultry, duck, vans and horse-boxesin which no passenger accommodation is provided.
12 Officers' carriages.
13 Service coaching vehicles, including stores vans, tool vans, breakdown vans and subordinate inspectioncarriages.
14 General service goods wagons, including open, covered, low-sided, rail and timber trucks.
15 Other goods vehicles, including cattle wagons.
16 Explosive vans, oil and petrol tank wagons.
17 Well wagons.
18 Goods brake-vans.
19 Service wagons, including ballast hopper, crane support crane and weighbridge testing wagons and water tankwagons.
Note: The above represent the maximum number of classes. A smaller number of classes may be observed when deciding whetheran item of new rolling-stock is to be treated as an addition or a replacement, Within each such class, the particular item ofrolling-stock which should be considered as being replaced is that which approximates most closely to the vehicles that is beingprovided or renewal account, or the replacement of which leads to the smallest charge to capital.
1508. No additional rolling-stock may be provided for by railways unless it can be definitely shown that there is likely to be a needfor such additional stock.
1509. In estimating the rolling stock requirements of the Railways the general principles indicated in paragraph 1510 to 1523should be followed.
1510. Justification for additional locomotives.� Additional locomotives are considered justified irrespective of stock only if itcan be shown that the existing locomotive stock is fully implied, that the anticipated entries in traffic, warrants the provisions ofadditional engine power and that justification exists for the provision of such power on capital account.
1511. Renewals of rolling stock.�As the rolling-stock programme for a year is prepared 15 to 18 months before itscommencement, it has necessarily to be based on rough estimates of the traffic requirements of a later period and on thecondition of rolling-stock, as it might be expected to be more than a year later. A detailed examination of each individual item ofrolling-stock included in the programme as to whether it should be repaired or replaced is thus impracticable. The renewals of
7/8/14 CHAPTER XV ROLLING STOCK PROGRAMME 1501
www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/codesmanual/MechDept/Mechanicalch15_data.htm 3/34
rolling-stock included in the programme as to whether it should be repaired or replaced is thus impracticable. The renewals ofrolling-stock are therefore determined primarily with reference to the general present condition of the class of units proposal to bereplaced or renewed. The suitability of the existing locomotives or vehicles to meet modern requirements and the expenditurewhich will be incurred in carrying out further repairs to the locomotives, vehicles or wagons if they are to be kept in service, areimportant considerations that have to be taken into account before renewal of an individual item of stock is preferred to itsreconditioning or repair. For this purpose, the instructions laid down in Chapter VII of the Indian Railway General Code should befollowed.
The average economic lives that may be assumed for the different kinds of rolling-stock for the purpose of arriving at decisions ofthis nature are given below. It should be clearly understood that the average life is not the maximum economic life and with goodmaintenance, stock can be kept in service for many years longer.

1512. Itemised Roiling Stock Pegramme.�The itemised Rolling Stock Programme is meant to. cater for complete rolling stock,including locomotives, coaches, wagons, cranes, tower wagons, etc.. Capital spares for rolling stock costing more than the limitspecified for each item, which are to be manufactured/procured by the Zonal Railways themselves. This programme also caters tomajor modifications to be carried out on rolling stock which primarily changes their class, i.e., conversion of coaches into AccidentRelief Trains, conversion of electric Loco excisions to silicon rectifiers etc., and those modifications which are the chargeable toDevelopment Railway Fund.
1513. The number of locomotives, in good repair, stored during the busiest and the slackest months respectively of the previousyear, percentage of loc Motives under repair, and the Kms. obtained from Engines in use over a period of years are amongst thefactors that should be examined in order to determine whether better utilization of the existing stock of locomotives is notpossible. All additional requirements should be estimated only after taking all possible steps for the better utilization of rollingstock.
1514. A detailed justification may be prepared for every New Acquisition. Each item proposed in the Programme should be vettedby the FA & CAO of the Railway and his verbatim comments indicated against each item.
1515. The Rolling Stock Programme, as accepted by the concerned Members of the Railway Board, is submitted to the HonourableMinister of State for Railways for his approval.
1516. Justification for Additional Boilers.�The railways are authorized to maintain a reserved of spare boilers for each type oflocomotives running on the line, upto a maximum limit of seven per cent of their total authorized stock of locomotives. The cost of
7/8/14 CHAPTER XV ROLLING STOCK PROGRAMME 1501
www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/codesmanual/MechDept/Mechanicalch15_data.htm 4/34
locomotives running on the line, upto a maximum limit of seven per cent of their total authorized stock of locomotives. The cost ofsuch "spare boilers" will be borne on the capital account in the same way as rolling-stock. These boilers are intended toaccelerate engine repairs by replacing the boiler of a locomotive that has come into shops for boiler repairs by a spare boiler,without waiting until the former is repaired. The boiler released from the locomotive should be taken into the reserve of spareboilers after it has been completely repaired. in those cases in which the boilers released from locomotive undergoing repairs areunfit for further use, new boilers may be provided to take their place (or the place of the spare boilers used up, instead). In allsuch cases, it is not the "spare boilers" that are to be regarded as having been replaced, but the boilers of the particularlocomotives undergoing repair. Spare boilers may, however, be provided as additions and charged to capital, provided that thelimit of seven per cent mentioned above is not exceeded, and there is actual need for additional boilers.
1517. Justification for Additional Coaching Stock.� The additional requirements of coaching stock should be considered undereach of the following nine classes, and additional coaching stock may be provided only if it can be shown that the estimatedrequirements, under each of the classes mentioned above, are in excess of the authorized stock of that class:�
(1) Upper class, excluding tourist, restaurant and inspection cars.
(2) Lower class.
(3) Brake-vans, luggage vans, postal vans.
(4) Miscellaneous stock for public traffic.
(5) Miscellaneous stock for departmental use, including inspection cars, inspectors vans, store vans, accident trains, &c.
(6) Tourist and restaurant cars.
(7) Military cars.
(8) Special stock . (Sentinel coaches. Trailers. Rail motors)
(9) Electric stock (multiple units) :�
(a) Upper
(b) Lower
1518. The requirements of additional coaching stock will be estimated as follows:�
(1) To the number of vehicles in each class employed on normal services at the time the estimate is prepared, should be addedthe estimated additions required to deal with expected increases in traffic on existing lines and the additional traffic likely to bedue to the opening of new lines during the period. A further addition should be made of the number of spares of each classnecessary for normal requirements as well as for special reservations and mela traffic.
(2) To the total number of vehicles thus worked out in (1) above, should be added a percentage representing what has beenascertained, in practice, to represent the normal requirements of the railway for repair purposes in mechanical workshops and sicklines.
(3) The additional stock worked out under (i) and (2) above, will then represent the estimated additional requirements of eachclass of coaching stock.
1519. Justification for Additional Goods Stock.� For the purpose of estimating additional requirements, goods stock should beconsidered under the following two divisions:�
(1) General Service Wagons;
(2) Special Type Wagons.
1520. Genera! Service Wagons.�In respect of General Service Wagons, the following statistics of each railway, by gauges,should be charted over a period of years:�
(1) The percentage increase in traffic as forecast by the railway compared with the actual percentage increase or decrease intraffic in terms of net ton Kms. for a period of years.
(2) The net ton Kms. per wagon day which railways are expected to reach compared with the actual net ton Kms. per wagon daythat they have reached in actual working during the same period of years.
1521. The wagon user in terms of net ton Kms. per wagon day that may be expected during the period for which the provision ofadditional stock is being considered should then be estimated as carefully as possible in the light of the anticipated trafficrequirements of that period.
1522. In the case of the broad gauge, where there is a general pool of all wagons, other than special type wagons, the totalrequirements of all railways should first be considered together to ascertain whether any additional wagons are necessary. Theprovision for individual railways will then be made after a study of the average credits and debits in the wagon pool during theprevious year, and after taking into consideration the number of condemned wagons not yet replaced on the line in question.
7/8/14 CHAPTER XV ROLLING STOCK PROGRAMME 1501
www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/codesmanual/MechDept/Mechanicalch15_data.htm 5/34
previous year, and after taking into consideration the number of condemned wagons not yet replaced on the line in question.
1523. Justification for Additional Special Type Wagons.�Additional special type wagons may be justified only on the basis ofadditional specific needs, the existence of which should be fully proved with the help of such information as may be available. It should be seen whether the needs of one railway for special type wagons cannot be met from the stock of another, by transferfor loan.
1524. Itemised Rolling Stock Programme.�The Rolling Stock Programme is meant to cater for complete rolling stock includinglocos, coaches, wagons, cranes tower wagons, etc., and also capital spares for rolling stock costing more than the limit specifiedfor each item. The programme also caters to major modifications to be carried out on rolling stock which primarily changes theirclass i.e. conversion of coaches into Accident Relief Trains, conversion of electric loco exactions to silicon rectifiers, etc.
It is necessary that the Railways ensure that only such items coming within the scope of RSP mentioned above which arecorrectly chargeable to RSP are proposed for inclusion in the rolling stock programme. Items which are normally repair items anddo not involve any modernization/conversion of the stock and normally chargeable to revenue and those which do not affect thecategory of the rolling stock or class should not be proposed under RSP. Some of the such items which have been sent by theRailways include re-cabling of locos, wheels for locos, reharnessing, rehabilitation, provision of minor equipment like revisedcouplers, re-winding of armatures not falling within the ambit of capital spares. The items should normally be carried out by theRailway under a special revenue estimate and where necessary.
1525. The itemised Rolling Stock Programme should be prepared in the following proforma separately for Works already sanctionedby the Board (Programmed Deliveries) and for New Works proposed to be taken up (New Acquisitions). It should be submitted in abook form on the same pattern as the Works Programme (and not in loose sheets) with continuous numbering separately forProgrammed Deliveries and New Acquisitions. The itemised programine should reach the Railway Board by 15 September of theyear which precedes the year to which the programme relates. 12 copies of the programme should be submitted.

1547. Budget Estimate of Open Line Works.�The rolling-stock programme, as approved by the Minister (paragraph 1556) and
as finally modified as a result of subsequent information furnished by the railways (paragraph 1557), forms part of the BudgetEstimate of Demand No. 1.6�Assets, Acquisition, construction and replacement to be presented by the Railway Board to theParliament. This estimate shows also the expenditure, chargeable to Capital and Depreciation-Reserve Fund on Works, other thanrolling-stock, and on "Suspense" and "Miscellaneous adjustments". The programme of open line works (other than rolling-stock),chargeable to Capital and Depreciation Reserve Fund, proposed to be undertaken in the workshops during the next financial year,should "be prepared in the form and in accordance with the general instructions contained in Chapter VI of the Indian RailwayCode for the Engineering Department in time for the submission of the preliminary programme. For instructions regarding theRevised and Budget Estimates of "Suspense" see paragraphs 1551 to 1555.
1548. The revised and budget estimates for construction, acquisition and replacement of assets are briefly known as worksBudget. The revised estimate gives an estimate of funds required for the current year arid the budget estimate refers to thefollowing year. For a detailed study of the Railway Budget, Chapter III of the Indian Railway Financial Code should be referred tothe Budget estimates for Rolling-Stock are based on the Rolling-Stock Programme approved by the Railway Board. Therequirement of funds both for new investments and for works in progress are submitted in the form of "Demand for Grants" in theworks Machinery and Rolling-Stock Programme which forms a part of the Budget papers presented to the Parliament.
1549. Revised Estimates.�The revised estimates of expenditure (including rolling-stock) for the current year should besubmitted to the Railway Board, in triplicate, so as to reach them unless otherwise authorised, on or before the 23rd December ineach year. For the preparation of the revised estimates, a forecast of expenditure on Works and Rolling-Stock for the currentyear should be prepared in prescribed form and submitted to the General Manager on such date as may be prescribed by him. Alist showing the particulars of works "in progress'' and "under order" and another showing particulars of works on whichcommitments have been incurred should accompany this forecast. A third list should also be attached showing separately theapproximate figures of the cost of works which are considered essential and those which can be postponed to a later year ifconditions necessitate the restricting of expenditure to the sanctioned grant. Each work must be scrutinised as closely aspossible with due regard to the progress expected to be made on works in hand in shops i.e. which of the works will be completedby the end of the current year and which of them will be carried forward to next year and what progress will be made on thelatter during the current year.
1550. Inventories.�The revised and budget estimates for inventories viz. stores in stock works-in-process in workshops andproduction units, other stores transactions such as purchase, sales and Miscellaneous Advance (Capital) are all parts of DemandNo. 16�Assets Acquisition, Construction and Replacement. The value of inventories under these heads is held as part of Railway'sCapital-at-charge. The revised and Budget Estimates for inventories depend on various factors. Even though budgetted underDemand No. 16, the operation of the inventories in Zonal Railways depends almost entirely on the revenue operations as budgetedfor under various Demands for ordinary Working Expenses. In production units, however, the inventory budget has to be closelylinked with manufacturing operations budget, which, in turn, will be dove-tailed with Rolling Stock Programme. While detailedinstructions for preparation of the budgets for stores transactions are contained in Chapter XXXI of Indian Railway Code forStores Department, instructions for preparation of budgets for Manufacturing Operations are given in the paragraphs that follow.
1551. Revised and Budget Estimates of Manufacture Operations.�The Revised and Budget Estimates of manufactureoperations should be compiled in Form W. 1551, and submitted to the Chief Mechanical Engineer. The form provides for theinclusion of items relating to the Printing Press and the Engineering Workshops (including the opening and closing balances relatingto such items, though not shown separately). The following instructions for the preparation of the form may be found useful�
(1) Material and Stores (from Stores Suspense) Derbits�Against this item should be provided the cost of stores anticipated to bedrawn from stock. The figures provided against this item should agree with the corresponding figures provided in the Estimates ofStores Transactions under Issues to Capital Manufacturing Suspense and should be estimated for, as laid down in paragraph 3106of the Indian Railway Code for the Stores Department.
(2) Miscellaneous Advances�Debits and Credits�The anticipated debits and credits under the head 'Miscellaneous Advances' inthe Capital. Account should be provided for against this item. The suspense head, though not affecting manufacture operations,has been included in Form W 1551 to complete the estimate of 'suspense' heads affecting the Capital grant.
(3) Capital Stores Suspense�Credits�Against items (1) and (2) under this heading, should be provided the anticipated cost ofstores to be manufactured for stock.
The cost of stores to be returned from Workshops to Stores by locomotive and carriage and wagon shops the credit for which is
7/8/14 CHAPTER XV ROLLING STOCK PROGRAMME 1501
www.indianrailways.gov.in/railwayboard/uploads/codesmanual/MechDept/Mechanicalch15_data.htm 22/34
to be afforded to "workshop manufacture suspense", should be shown against item (5). The figures shown under this head should
agree with the figures taken in the Estimates of Stores Transactions on account of Receipts from Workshops (paragraphs 3116and 3124) of the Indian Railways Code for the Stores Department).
(4) Revenue Credits�The provision under this head should agree with the provision made in the estimates of Revenue AbstractsC, D and E against the head:
(1) Running repair done in workshops for sheds.
(2) Periodical overhauls.
(3) Intermediate overhauls.
(4) Special repairs.
(5) Other repairs.
(6) Plant and equipment (Repairs in workshops etc.
(5) The anticipated balance is the difference bet ween the grand total on the debit side and the total credits during the year.
(6) The Net Debits/Credits during the year is the difference between the total debits and the total credits during the year. -
(7) The Net Debits/Credits during the year is the. difference between the total debits and the total credits during the year i.e.,the difference bet ween the opening and closing balances. �
