The South Central Railway (SCR) Zone has handled 122.51 million tonnes (MT) in freight loading for the year 2018-19, about 10 per cent more than the annual target fixed by the Railway Board on the back of an increase in coal and cement volumes.
With the increase in freight loading performance the SCR Zone was able to cross the Rs 10,000-crore mark in freight loading revenue for the first time by earning Rs 10,584 crore during the period, the SCR authorities said.
“Having been set a target of 111 million tonnes by the Railway Board for SCR to attain in the financial year 2018-19, with efficient coordination the operating department of the zone has achieved the target comfortably and exceeded it by more than 10 per cent,” SCR general manager Gajanan Mallya said.
