Here\u2019s the latest on the Indian Railways “Pink Book”<\/strong> for the financial year 2025\u201326:<\/p>\n

\n

What Was the Pink Book?<\/h3>\n

The Pink Book<\/strong> was an annual publication released after the Union Budget, detailing budgetary allocations across Zonal Railways and production units. It covered project-level expenditures\u2014such as new lines, doubling, electrification, safety enhancements, passenger amenities, and rolling stock procurement.<\/p>\n

\n

Discontinuation of the Pink Book (2025)<\/h3>\n
    \n
  • In April 2025<\/strong>, the Ministry of Railways officially discontinued the iconic Pink Book<\/strong>, ending a decades-long tradition.<\/li>\n
  • The decision marks a shift toward a more decentralized budgeting process<\/strong>.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    \n

    What\u2019s Replacing It?<\/h3>\n
      \n
    • Instead, comprehensive zone-wise budget documents<\/strong> are being issued for each Zonal Railway<\/strong> and Production Unit<\/strong>.<\/li>\n
    • These new reports will include:\n
        \n
      • Earnings<\/li>\n
      • Working expenses<\/li>\n
      • Capital expenditure<\/li>\n
      • Detailed lists of sanctioned works<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/li>\n
      • Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw noted this transition during a Parliament session<\/strong>, confirming that the preparation of these new documents is already underway.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
        \n

        Why It Matters<\/h3>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
        Aspect<\/th>\nDetails<\/th>\n<\/tr>\n<\/thead>\n
        Historical Role<\/strong><\/td>\nPink Book served as a master blueprint for planning and implementing railway projects across zones.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Current Change<\/strong><\/td>\nBudgeting has moved to a zone-wise model, allowing for more tailored and relevant documentation.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
        Implication<\/strong><\/td>\nProject implementation, planning, and transparency will now rely on these individual, zonal budget documents.<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n
        \n
