Railways may invest â¹3,000 crore to automate yards
The Indian Railways has proposed to spend an estimated â¹3,000 crore to construct around 40 smart yards to mechanise the maintenance and repair work of coaches, ending a century-old practice of manual inspections. Notably, around 10,000 coaches are inspected manually every month by groups of 4-30 employees that spend as much as six hours per train.
