Green Initiative to Transport Fly Ash by Railways
- Green Initiative to Transport Fly Ash by Railways is a Ministry of Railways-led logistics push to move thermal-power-plant fly ash in bulk from generators to user industries (cement, bricks, road embankments, infrastructure) via a dedicated container-rake network.
- Targets two simultaneous public goods: decongesting ash mounds around thermal power stations and feeding circular-economy demand for cement/bricks/road-fill.
- Examinable as a convergence of freight modal-shift policy, MoEFCC's 100% fly-ash utilisation mandate, and Net-Zero Railways by 2030.
