Indian Railway Zone & Division Codes: Alphabetical Codes

The Indian Railway has implemented standardized alphabetical codes to identify and organize its Zones and Divisions. These codes provide a systematic and efficient way to categorize and manage the various regions and departments within the railway system. By using these codes, it becomes easier for employees and passengers alike to navigate and understand the different areas of the Indian Railway network.

GOVERNMENT OF INDIA
MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS
(RAILWAY BOARD)

No. 2023/E&R/1(7)/1

New Delhi, dt. 17.07.2023

The General Managers,
All Zonal Railways &PUs.

Sub: Standardized alphabetical codes for Zones & Divisions.

To avoid any mismatch/contradiction in the codes of Zones and Divisions maintained separately in multiple IR-applications by CRIS & Rate Branch System (RBS), Board (CRB & CEO) has approved the use of standardized alphabetical codes for Zones and Divisions across Indian Railways. The list of standardized codes for the above enclosed herewith for ready reference.

The above directives have been put forth to ensure standardization and uniformity in the coding system employed across all Indian Railways applications. It is essential that these instructions are duly implemented within all |R-applications & in each zonal railway to ensure seamless integration and compatibility across the network and due consideration is given to Upper and lowercase while using the codes.

The older codes on stations, other installations and rolling stock should be gradually replaced by the above standardized codes of Zones and Divisions during next painting cycle/POH etc.
