Indian Railways freight earnings touch highest-ever at ₹14,000 crore in August
The Indian Railways achieved a historic milestone in freight earnings, posting ₹14,100 crore in August—the highest monthly figure to date. This growth was fuelled by strong performance in key sectors like steel and coal, alongside healthy diversification across other cargo categories.
The growth would have been higher but for the modest rise in loading of mineral oil, domestic containers and Exim containers (both export and import).
