The pink book in Railways consists of the various programs or projects that are undertaken or yet to be undertaken. It consists of detailed info on all the different zones of the Indian Railways.
Once the Rail Budget is passed, the ‘Pink Book’ becomes the authority to start preliminary works related to the project.
While we get carried away by the announcements, the actual intent of the ministry is known when you see the Pink Book.
