South Central Railway records highest ever parcel revenue #IndiaNEWS #Hyderabad
Hyderabad: South Central Railway recorded its highest ever parcel earnings with revenue of Rs 200 crores. The trains loaded a total of 4.78 lakh tonnes of parcels in the current financial year.
Officials say that this was achieved through various initiatives introduced by the Ministry of Railways and by ensuring that the supply chain of essential commodities remains robust. An amount of Rs 73.62 crores were earned from non-leased traffic wherein parcels were transported by both regular passenger carrying trains and time-tabled parcel trains. Further, an amount of Rs 20.08 crores was generated from leasing of parcel space in 62 seating cum luggage coaches and 5 parcel vans.
Indian railways took vital steps in the recent times like enabling advance booking facility of parcel space, timetabled parcel trains along with Business Development Units (BDU).They also introduced special trains like Kisan Rail and Doodh Duronto which helped traders, cargo operators and farmers with transporting consignments.
The South zone has started 473 Kisan Specials transporting 1.57 lakh tonnes of agricultural commodities to various parts of the country generating Rs 72.67 crores in revenue.
Doodh Duronto, an initiative started by the south zone during the Covid lockdown, transported milk to the national capital. It helped transport 7.22 crore liters of milk and generated Rs 34.03 crores.
Sanjeev Kishore, General Manager, South Central Railway, advised the teams to maintain the same momentum going forward to continue assisting particularly the small and medium consignors in transporting their commodities.
