Here’s the latest on the North Western Railway (NWR) Pink Book—what it was, its current status, and how the reporting format has evolved:
What Was the NWR Pink Book?
The “Pink Book” was an annual, zone-specific document that detailed major railway projects—including new lines, track doubling, electrification, station improvements, and financial outlays—for each zone.
For NWR, this meant a comprehensive summary of capital works, project plans, and fund allocations for the Jaipur, Ajmer, Bikaner, and Jodhpur divisions.
What’s Changing: Discontinuation of the Pink Book
- As of 2025, the Ministry of Railways has officially discontinued the historic Pink Book format.
- It’s being replaced by new “zone-wise budget documents”, which aim to provide detailed financial and project information (including earnings, expenses, asset deployment) at a more granular level.5
Current Status for NWR and What You Can Do
- The 2025–26 NWR Pink Book is not available in its classic format, and has not yet been released as a zone-wise budget document.
- However, earlier versions—like the 2025–23 or 2025–24 editions—may still be accessible via archives or the IRCTC portal.5
- Alternatively, recent budget coverage indicates:
- ₹9,714.28 crore allocated for NWR in FY 2024–25.
- This includes ₹1,438 crore for new lines, ₹129 crore for gauge conversions, ₹925 crore for doubling projects.
- Major new line projects span routes such as Jodhpur–Pali–Marwar, Phulera–Ringas–Churu, Ajmer–Pushkar, and more.
- Additionally, ₹990 crore was earmarked for electrification and ₹2,222 crore for passenger amenities.
