A growth of 306.7% in loading of miscellaneous items has also been registered as compared to the previous fiscal year, during the same period. 

Speedy execution of doubling and electrification works at important sections over N.F. Railway has led to increased inward and outward movement of freight traffic. This unprecedented loading accomplishment was made possible through simultaneous efforts in enhancing capacity. This continuous growth in freight loading reflects the increasing economic activity in the region. This upward trend in freight operations has not only boosted the region’s economic dynamics but has also generated significant revenue for NFR. PRESS RELEASE
