Indian Railways is redefining freight transportation in the country and has set a new record in freight movement by providing a speedy, reliable, and affordable end-to-end rail freight solution.

 

 

In a statement, the Ministry of Railways said that last Sunday, a total of 892 interchange trains were handled in a single day between the Dedicated Freight Corridor network and five zones of Indian Railways. It said that the previous record stood at 865 trains, achieved on 4th of January.

 

 

The Ministry said that the milestone reflects Dedicated Freight Corridor Corporation of India Limited (DFCCIL) growing operational capacity, strengthened planning framework, and robust traffic management systems.

 

 

The Ministry highlighted that the record underlines a positive transformation in the country’s logistics ecosystem, facilitating faster, safer, and more predictable movement of coal, cement, containers, and agricultural commodities, while easing congestion on the conventional rail network.
