About the workshop
Coach Rehabilitation Workshop (CRWS), located at Nishatpura, Bhopal is a unit of Indian Railways functioning under West Central Zone of Indian Railways. Bhopal workshop was built and equipped with the latest technology for carrying out MID LIFE REHABILITATION OF COACHES in the year 1989. CRWS/BPL was the first workshop over IR engaged in carrying out the Mid Life Rehabilitation of Indian Railways coaches. The CRWS campus is spread over a total area of 401.03 acres including 190 acres of workshop areas. Due to decision of Railway Board, MLR work of ICF coaches at CRWS, BPL has been discontinued w.e.f. 01.04.2020 and POH of ICF coaches and SSII of LHB coaches has been started while gearing up for carrying out SSIII of LHB coaches including NMGH coach conversion and camping coach conversion. The workshop certified ISO 9001, 14001, 45001, 50001, 3834, 5S & CII GreenCo Silver. The Quality standards maintained by this workshop are benchmark for other IR workshops.
Key Achievements
1. Replacing all lights to efficient LED lights using solar street light in factory boundary. 2. Utilization of recycle water from STP is under construction, capacity – 5MLD. 3. Reduction in average specific water consumption in last 3 years is 15.43%. 4. Specific water consumption is reduced by 3% over 2020-21. 5. Utilization of recycle water from STP capacity- 500 KLD (182500 KL per Year). 6. During year 2020-21, 23.78% less hazardous waste generated as compared to 2019-20. 7. 691.25kwp rooftop solar power plants working successfully. 8. Plantation of 620 no’s in workshop & “Jayant
Sinha Park” at CRWS colony. 9. 100% plastic waste is recycled with help of
Sarthak Bhopal (Authorised by Nagar Nigam
Bhopal & MPPCB). We are committed to preserve our environment through excellence in working methods and safe work practices. We ensure 100% compliance of all statutory and legal laws. Preventing pollution through proper waste management, use of alternative material and to promote use of green energy etc. It is our goal to ensure safe work culture in all employees through continuous education and training.

Unique Initiatives
Changed Press Machine to hanger testing Machine:
y A press machine has been converted into a hanger testing machine for bogie hanger testing, it is easy to use. y The old draw bar testing machine is fitted with a 27 kw motor. 5kw motor is installed in this machine. So 22kw energy is being saved.
UV sanitization Machine
y UV Sanitization Machine has been manufactured to disinfect the letter and file received from outside in the factory. By keeping the files and letters in this machine in the touch of ultra violet rays, the viruses on the surface of the file and letter are inactivated. This machine can be protected from the danger caused by the virus.
Energy Efficiency
y 500kWp & 191.25 kWp rooftop solar power plants were commissioned on 27.06.2018. y Generation of solar energy from Apr-2021 up to Oct’21 is 4,84,317 kWH and saving is Rs. 38,74,239/-. y Generation since commissioning of 27.06.2018 up to Oct’21 is 24,64,845 kWH and saving is Rs. 1,56,99,877/-. y Installation of EPFC capacitor bank of 25 KVAR (8 no’s) in sub-station 1, 2, 3 and 4. The power factor has improved from 0.94 to 0.96. y SCADA monitoring system installed in CRWS/BPL for electric power. y 20 energy savers are provided on existing AC, each energy saver saves 0.3 units /hrs. y Installation of 140 watt LED high bay light for shed - 150
Nos. y Replacement of existing wall mounted bracket fan with
BLDC fan – 35 Nos. y Provision of solar street light & procurement of energy efficiency (5-Star) Air-conditioner. y Electrically operated actuator with butterfly valve in comp. pipe line - 14 Nos. y Trans vector nozzles for comp. air system–06 Nos. y Provision of level based auto drain valve on each compressor– 02 Nos.
Waste management
y This workshop has made organic compost plant in house by using empty PVC drums and scrap bins. M/s Sarthak Sanstha (Approved by Nagar Nigam, Bhopal) gave technical guidance in making this plant. y In this plant, residue of food staff of staff canteen and plants leaf etc are being used for making organic manure. y Implementing scientific approach towards waste disposal at all stages, segregations of the wastes and disposed in eco-friendly manner. y Industrial waste (FRP, foam rexine, recron) disposed in scientific manner through co-processing (waste to electricity generation).
Green Supply Chain
y Introduced e-tendering, decision making, Issue of PO’s and submission of vendor bills online platform resulting paperless working with transparency. y Vendor development program for creating awareness regarding environment sustainability. y Enabling other users to use store items as and when required. y User Depot Module (UDM) – More transparency in tracking of material usage.
