NCR loaded 9.90 million tonnes of cargo during April-September 2022 surpassing previous year loading.

1.63 MT of loading was achieved in the month of September 2022 which is an improvement of 2.52% over same period last year . Originating freight revenue during these six months comes to be Rs 1011.25 crores, which is 13.40 % more than the originating freight earning of 891.72 crores in the first six months of previous financial year.

NCR, which spans through the states of UP, MP, Rajasthan and Haryana, is an important constituent of Indian Railways and contributes in loading of containers from Dadri, Kanpur, Agra and Malanpur; fertilizers from Panki near Kanpur; cement from Parichha (near Jhansi) and Chunar; Petroleum Oil Lubricants from BAD refinery Mathura, HPTR near Kanpur and BPCL Panki; foodgrain loading from various places like Etah, Kanpur, Sonbhadra, Mirzapur, Prayagraj, Fatehpur, Shankargarh and Lalitpur of Uttar Pradesh and Tikamgarh, Datia, Dabra and Newari of Madhya Pradesh among other locations.

All the commodities have shown a surge in the loading except cement & fertilizers which registers a slight dip as compared to the previous year.

In addition to it, parcel traffic also registers a significant surge as compared to the previous year. Rs 15.66 crores of total parcel earnings have been achieved by NCR during the first half of the year against earnings of Rs. 10.96 crore for same period last year, which is a growth of 42.88%.

While analysing the loading figures of the zone, General Manager Shri Pramod Kumar congratulated the officers for the overall loading performance but expressed concerns over the dip in cement & fertilizer loading. He instructed the officers to put all efforts to pull these two commodities and sustain the momentum throughout the remaining year so that the target set by the Railway Board could be surpassed. GM instructed the DRMs of the three divisions and concerned officers of headquarter to conduct regular freight customer meets and facilitate merchants to use Railway as a preferred mode of transport. “Achievements are laudable, but we have to work harder to sustain the momentum and surpass the targets set by the Railway Board”, said the GM.
