General Information
In order to facilitate bulk transportation of fly ash through Railway wagons, facility for
loading of dry fly ash from silos to Railway wagons have been developed at NTPC’s
Rihand thermal power plant and being installed shortly at NTPC’s Vindhyachal
power plants also. Trial for bulk transportation of fly ash in BTAP wagons has been
successfully conducted by NTPC in association with Indian Railway and Texmaco
Wagon manufacturing company. In this trial fly ash from fly ash silo was loaded into
wagons from inlet point located at top of the wagon and then wagons were moved to
cement plant premises located in Satna cement belt. At cement plant, fly ash had
been unloaded pneumatically from side of the wagons to closed bulker successfully.
BTAP wagons are widely used for transportation of Alumina powder by Aluminum
Industry. These wagon rakes are either owned by Aluminum Industry are taken on
leased from leasing companies. Ministry of Railway vide its circular dated 20-01-
2017 has allowed fly ash transportation in BTAP wagons and permissible carrying
capacity for fly ash has been fixed to 60.36 tonne.

unloading facility such as compressors and pipe lines from railway siding to fly ash
storage silos etc. Interested transporter can also unload fly ash into closed tankers/
bulkers through the mobile compressor system from BTAP wagons rake parked at
railway siding. Bulk transportation of fly ash through BTAP wagons will be cost

unloading points and thus environment friendly.
