Revenue from loading freight grew by 17%:Indian Railway

In mission mode, Indian Railways' freight loading and earnings for the first seven months of this fiscal year 2022–23 have surpassed those of the same period previous year.

In comparison to last year's loading of 786.2 MT, a total freight loading of 855.63 MT has been reached from April through October 22, an increase of almost 9%. The railways made Rs c as opposed to Rs 789.21 bn the previous year, a 17% increase.

Originating freight loading was 118.94 MT on October 22 compared to 117.34 MT on October 21, which is an increase of 1.4% over the previous year. Compared to the Rs 123.13 bn in freight profits on October 21, Rs 133.53 bn in freight revenue was realised, an increase of 8% over the previous year.

Following the mantra "Hungry For Cargo," IR has consistently worked to make it easier to do business and to supply services at affordable costs, which has led to an increase in both traditional and non-traditional commodities streams using railways. Railways was able to achieve this historic feat because to the business development units' customer-centric strategy and hard effort, which was supported by agile policymaking.
