Smart Railway Wagons : CIL has been supplying coal to its consumers by Rail
through Railway Sidings. The railway wagons at such sidings are loaded through
contractual means by payloader. The loading of wagons by contractual arrangement
often results in overloading or underloading Railway wagons. The rules of Penal
overloading and underloading are notified by Railway. Any penalty for overloading
charged by the Railway for any consignment is payable by the purchaser. However, 9.Industry innovation and

in case of underloading of wagons, credit for idle freight is adjusted in coal bills. infrastructure
Thus any idle freight for under-loading is borne by CIL. During 2021-22, the
expense for under-loading was nearly Rs.593 Cr. whereas the contract for wagon
loading itself was only Rs.276 Cr. Hence, a digital solution in the form of sensor/
IoT is needed to prevent the under-loading and overloading of Railway wagons.
