The Ballast Cleaning Machine (BCM) costing about Rs 18 crore is used for screening of ballast under the sleepers on plain track as well on turn-outs for restoring drainage and resilience of track. This process is done to improve the mobility, safety and passenger comfort. Presently, 115 numbers Ballast Cleaning Machines are working on IR and 41 more such machines have been planned to be included in Indian Railway maintenance fleet over next three years.
