Delivery vehicles, along with the wider freight ecosystem, which involves larger categories of vehicles, including trucks, release lakhs of tons of carbon emissions into our already polluted cities and streets.
The freight rake was fully designed and developed indigenously in collaboration with Research Designs & Standards Organisation (RDSO), HINDALCO and Besco Wagon.
With this, Indian Railways has had 25 straight months of best monthly freight loading.
According to Southern Railway, the originating freight loading for April was about 3.23 million ton (MT), exceeding the Railway Board's target by 0.462 million tonnes.
The scheme will be applicable only to the freight customers who are registered on the e-RD portal of the Freight Operations Information System (FOIS), the Railways Ministry said today.
