The Mumbai Central division of Western Railway has achieved its highest-ever single-day ticket checking revenue, collecting Rs 68.54 lakh from 9,688 cases on April 30, 2026.

This surpasses its previous record of Rs 61.08 lakh from 7,870 cases, which was recorded on November 10, 2023.

Monthly record also broken

In addition to the daily milestone, the division also reported its highest-ever monthly ticket checking revenue, earning Rs 12.40 crore in April 2026.

The figure exceeds the earlier record of Rs 12.25 crore achieved in May 2022, marking a new benchmark in enforcement and revenue collection.

Focus on ticket checking drives

Officials said the increase in revenue reflects intensified ticket checking drives and stricter enforcement across suburban and long-distance services under the Mumbai Central division.

The initiative aims to curb ticketless travel and ensure compliance among passengers, while boosting overall railway revenue.
