Indian Railways loading was 108.16 million tonnes in October this year as compared to last year’s loading for the same period at 93.75 million tonnes.
The improvement in freight movements is stated due to concessions/discounts being offered by Indian Railways and its efforts to reach out to top leadership of iron & steel, cement, power, coal, automobiles and logistics service providers to attract new business and incentivise existing clients.
