Indian railways reached a historical milestone in the earnings and published £14 100 crore in August – the highest monthly value. This growth was supported by strong performance in key sectors such as steel and coal, along with healthy diversification across other categories of cargo.
Growth would be higher, but for a modest increase in the load of mineral oil, domestic containers and elevation containers (export and import).
According to data on the Ministry of Railway, the total volume of cargo in August remained floating to 130.9 million tonnes, from 120.6 million tonnes in the same month of last year, which converts 8.5%.
Growth was caused by 9% load load on coal load, 22% in finished steel, good fertilizers, 4.5% in mineral oil, 6% in domestic containers, 5% in export and import containers) and 31% balance in balance.
Annually, cumulative, load loads increased by 3.1% last year and touched 673.6 million tonnes.

The growth of freight loads and earnings continued on the railway during FY26. Total freight volumes increased by 2% year -on -year to 413 million tonnes in April to June, while revenue from transport operations also increased during the period £44 870.4 crore. For July, growth almost hit the two -digit brand.
The railways set the target of cargo for freight transport of 1,702.5 million tonnes for the financial year 2025-26, which meant a 5.2% increase compared to 1,617.38 million tons carried in 2024-25.
In the years 2024-25, railways recorded 1.7% of freight transport growth compared to 2023-24.
Coal is over half of the costs of Indian railways. Augustr’s growth would be better if coal loading was higher. The loading of coal from the third quarter is expected to pick up Post-Monsoon.
