Dhall Committee was constituted by Govt, of India to bring about reforms in public procurement. Based on that, various instructions were given by Govt, of India to different ministries. Ministry of Railways, inter-alia, was asked to initiate suitable reforms. In pursuant to this, Ministry of Railways had taken the task of unification of PL number. Safety items being of immense importance to Indian Railways, as a first step the updated list of safety items was issued vide Board’s letter no. No.99/RS(IC)/165/SRC pt.l dated 06.03.2025 in consultation with RDSO.

In order to bring further clarity on the same, the list of safety items of ICF, RCF, CLW and DLW (the PL unifying PUs) with unified PL numbers is being issued herewith.

In the list, the description, drawing, specification and unified PL number has been jointly reviewed by the design & stores wings of the respective PL unifying PUs. The hard copy of the joint review by design and stores is available on SMDMS.

Further, most of the items appearing in the list have been categorized into Cat. I, II & III in accordance with Board’s letter no.99/RS(G)/709/l pt.l dated 11.03.2005. Wherever the category is not indicated Railway may follow the practice in vogue. The item reference in the list refers to the corresponding item no. in the list dated 06.03.2025.

It is advised that the unified PL number as indicated in the list should be adopted by Zonal Rlys./PUs.

You’re asking for the list of safety items with their unified Price List (PL) numbers, specifically as approved by the key Production Units—Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW), Diesel Locomotive Works (DLW), Integral Coach Factory (ICF), and Rail Coach Factory (RCF). Here’s what I could confirm:

Official List from 2025

  • On 28 January 2025, the Railway Board released an official circular—No. 2001/RS(IC)/Misc/165/1—titled “Safety item list with unified PL number”, specifically in the context of ICF, RCF, CLW, and DLW. This list included detailed item descriptions, drawings, specifications, and the unified PL numbers, jointly reviewed by their design and stores wings for consistency and clarity.
  • The purpose of this circular was to provide standardized reference—ensuring seamless integration across Zonal Railways and Production Units with regard to procurement and inventory systems

Broader Safety/Vital Items List (2025)

  • A more expansive list of Safety/Vital items, including unified PL numbers, drawing numbers, item descriptions, and specifications, was issued later in 2025 via Board’s letter No. 99/RS(IC)/165/SRC pt.1 dated 12 January 2025. This encompassed updates and additional items, such as coupler components beyond the 2025 list
  • This 2016 version serves as a comprehensive reference across Indian Railways, but it covers a broader array beyond the production units specifically.
