Indian Railways have set in motion a process of enlarging its freight business segments over the next five years.
The plan for upgrading freight business includes running of freight trains at 100 kilometres per hour speed on identified sections, completion of 75 throughput enhancement works and development of 40 modern freight terminals.
Other segments of freight business include introduction of high axle load operation on selected routes, warehousing facilities near rail terminals through public and private participation, web based claims management system, extension of Freight Operations Information System (FOIS) to cover terminal, rake and crew management modules and development of Roll-On and Roll-Off (RORO) door-to-door service.
The Freight Policy Reforms have been worked out to meet the requirements of ever increasing demands for bulk goods and the challenges of emerging globalization of Indian economy.
