Introduction: Railway Scrap Business in India<\/strong><\/p>\n

The way industries look at waste is changing in India as the country has been making a stride towards a circular economy. What once was considered as scrap is now treated as secondary raw material. One of the largest contributors to this shift is Indian Railways which operates one of the biggest railway networks in the world.<\/p>\n

With the ongoing modernization works, track replacements and electrification works along with the rolling stock replacements, Indian Railways produces large volume of such recyclable materials every year. For MSME and first generation entrepreneurs this is a rare opportunity: a structured recycling business, which has institutional scrap supply.<\/p>\n
