Railway formally adopts RORO fees in order to match road rates

27 Jul 2022 CW Team
The fees for the roll-on, roll-off (RORO) service that Indian Railways provides to transporters have been formalised. The prices are equivalent to the road tax.

The RORO services that will be run on the Indian Railway network, including the dedicated freight corridor, will be subject to these freight rates (DFC). During the Covid-19 pandemic, this service was heavily utilised to transport trucks containing oxygen containers to hospitals.

Currently, DFC and Konkan Railways offer RORO services. This freight circular establishes consistent pan-Indian RORO billing, which was previously done on a case-by-case basis.

The Indian Foundation of Transport Research and Training, the loaded truck rental on May 1 of this year cost 1,56,000 for a round-trip between Delhi, Mumbai, and Delhi (2,800 miles). Comparatively, the base freight charge of the rail's RORO service for a rigid body truck across a distance of 2,751-2,875 km has been maintained at 1,46,398. Overhead fees, such as development fees, busy season surcharges, terminal fees, and GST, are also applicable in addition to the railroads' base freight rates.
