[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]The Railways has registered a seven-year high in freight loading for the period April to October 2017, at nearly 654 million tonnes.
This has been attributed to increased movement of coal, raw materials, cement, steel, iron ore, foodgrains and petroleum products, as well as some new cargo.
The Railways had in the recent past formulated a clear strategy to attract more freight, which included extending concessions to industries, empty flow direction concessions, removing port congestion surcharges and dual iron ore charges, etc.
