NEW DELHI, JUNE 9. All the nine public sector undertakings of the Indian Railways have performed well and declared higher total dividend for 2002-03 at Rs. 197.49 crores against Rs. 186.26 crores in the previous year.

Claiming `overall excellent performance', the Railway Ministry said that the tempestuous phase of the railway finances is just over and initiatives were being taken in all directions while all the six Railway production units have been accorded ISO-9000 certificates in Quality Management System.

Further, four of the production units — Rail Coach Factory, Kapurthala, Integral Coach Factory, Chennai, Diesel Locomotive Works, Varanasi, and Chitranjan Locomotives — have also been certified with ISO-14000 for environmental management system. The remaining two units — Rail wheel factory, Bangalore, and Diesel Modernisation Works, Patiala — are in the process of getting this certification.
