Indian Railways Records 145 Million Tonnes Freight Loading Amid Global Challenges
In May 2026, Indian Railways achieved a freight loading of 145 million tonnes, marking a 1.3% increase compared to the previous year. This growth was driven by strong performances in the Iron Ore, Steel, Fertilisers, and Balance Other Goods segments, achieved despite global geopolitical challenges. Passenger traffic also rose, exceeding 61 crore, with a notable increase in Non-Suburban segments. Indian Railways operated numerous Summer Special Trains and expanded modern services like Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat.
