Insights into IRCTC's Waste Treatment Practices
In 2024, IRCTC generated a total of 10,235 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 61.21% of IRCTC's total waste generated was recovered through methods such as recycling, reuse, or composting, while 38.79% was disposed of through landfilling, incineration, or combustion.
IRCTC's Waste Recovery Rate
How much of IRCTC's waste is recycled or recovered?
In 2024, IRCTC reported a total waste generation of 10,235 metric tonnes, of which 61.21% was recovered through recycling, reuse, or composting. This moderate level of recovery indicates that IRCTC is taking steps toward improving its waste diversion practices, though there is still room to enhance recycling and recovery efforts.
Has IRCTC reduced its environmental waste footprint over time?
Since 2024, IRCTC's total waste generation has increased by 15.5%, which may reflect expanding operations, weaker material efficiency, or insufficient waste reduction efforts.
Over the same period, IRCTC's waste recovery rate increased by 147.56%.

Insights into IRCTC’s Generation of Hazardous and Non-Hazardous Waste
In 2024, IRCTC generated a total of 10,235 metric tonnes of waste.
Of this amount, 0.05% of IRCTC's total waste generated of was classified as hazardous waste, characterized by properties such as toxicity, flammability, corrosiveness, or reactivity that may pose risks to human health, ecosystems, or the environment. 99.94% was identified as non-hazardous waste, generally considered less harmful and subject to lighter regulatory controls.

How IRCTC reduced the environmental impact of its waste?
Since 2024, IRCTC's total waste generation has increased by 15.5%, which may reflect expanding operations, weaker material efficiency, or insufficient waste reduction efforts.
Since 2024, IRCTC's hazardous waste generation has increased by 66.97%, indicating a potential rise in the use of harmful materials, process inefficiencies, or limited hazardous waste reduction strategies..
Overall, IRCTC's waste and hazardousness trends are mixed or inconclusive. A more detailed review of its materials, industry standards, and operational changes would help clarify the net environmental impact of its waste strategy.
How does IRCTC treat its hazardous waste?
In 2024, IRCTC reported that 5 metric tonnes of its total waste output were classified as hazardous. This represents 0.05% of its overall waste generation.
The company treated this hazardous waste using a combination of methods. A majority (100%) was diverted from disposal through recovery-oriented treatments such as recycling or reuse. This suggests that IRCTC has established processes to reduce the environmental burden of its most harmful waste streams.
