DO. No. E(MPP)2024/ 1/26 11th September, 2024

bean Da. Gos,

Sub: Creation of posts for new assets.

As per the existing instruction of Department of Expenditure (DoE),
Ministry of Finance, creation of posts (except crew review in Railways)
requires the approval of Department of Expenditure.

2. Railways has over the last few years witnessed a significant
increase in capital expenditure from rupees 1.48 lakh crores in 2019-20
to 2.62 lakh crores in 2023-24. This capital expenditure is resulting in
significant increase in assets for which adequate manpower is required
for Reliable and Safe Train Operation. These assets will further increase
in coming years considering Railways target of Mission 3000 MT from
current level of 1610 MT in 2013-24, and this 3000 MT is to be achieved
by 2030. For achieving this objective, more trains will have to be run
which requires increased manpower for both train running &
infrastructure maintenance. For better appreciation summary of new
assets created in Indian Railways in past 5 years is attached.

3. Creation of new assets and addition/ construction of new lines in
Railways mandates all parameters especially safety related parameters to
be met for clearance by Commissioner of Railway Safety for safe training
of trains. It may also be appreciated that due to safety requirement, the
outsourcing of these activities is not considered feasible e.g.
maintenance/manning tracks, bridges etc., maintenance of Locos,
Coaches and Wagon, Signaling Maintenance etc.

4. As such, for effective monitoring and execution of different projects,
maintenance of new assets and smooth and safe operation of trains,
there is urgent requirement of additional manpower in Indian Railways.
This requires creation of non-gazetted posts from time to time as per
requirement.

5. In view of above it is high time that Ministry of Railways may
therefore be delegated powers to create non-gazetted posts in safety and
essential categories for new assets against equivalent matching value
from vacancy bank on 1:1 basis and wherever equivalent money value on
1:1 basis is not available, then creation should be permitted without any
matching surrender.

WTR bank wishes.

Yours sincerely,

network.

Now a days, track maintenance is being carried out in mechanized manner for which
there is requirement of S&T staff along with the track machines for optimum
utilization of traffic blocks and machine in effective manner.

Thus additional requirement of S&T staff is envisaged for existing network as well as
additional infrastructure created, due to manifold increase in maintenance efforts and
attention required for assets to ensure safety in train operations.
