Here’s the latest on the North Central Railway (NCR) Pink Book, now updated with the current shifts in Indian Railways’ documentation practices:
What Was the Pink Book?
Historically, the “Pink Book” was an annual zonal railways document detailing:
- Budget allocations and funding for major projects
- Infrastructure works (new lines, doubling, electrification)
- Safety, maintenance, and modernization efforts
- Machinery, rolling stock plans, and financial outlays
The NCR Pink Book was specific to the North Central Railway Zone, covering Prayagraj, Jhansi, and Agra divisions, laying out all planned investments for the zone.
What’s Changing in 2025?
Discontinuation of the Traditional Pink Book
- In 2025, the Ministry of Railways officially discontinued the Pink Book format.
- Instead, it will now produce zone-wise budget documents—comprehensive reports covering revenue, expenditure, capital outlays, and project specifics.
This shift is intended to streamline documentation and make planning more transparent and tailored to individual zone needs.
Delays and Structural Changes
- The new zone-specific budget documents, including NCR’s version, have been delayed in release—impacting project planning at zonal levels.
- For context, the Southern Railway experienced similar setbacks, with budget allocations announced but details unavailable until the new documents were published.
What You Can Do
Unfortunately, there’s no updated NCR Pink Book publicly available for 2025–26 in the previous format. However, you still have a few useful options:
- Wait for the new zone-specific budget book released by North Central Railway (often available on the zonal website or Railway Board portals).
- Reach out via RTI or official zone contact channels if the report hasn’t been published yet—they may have early versions or internal summaries.
- Use past years’ versions (e.g., 2025–22 NCR Pink Book) as a reference or baseline for planning.
