The performance reflects a clear improvement over the same period in the previous financial year. Freight loading registered a year-on-year increase of nearly 6.88%, while December loading was higher by about 6.23% compared to the corresponding month last year. Railway officials indicated that this growth was supported by better infrastructure and facilities extended to traders, manufacturers, and other freight customers across the zone.
NER officials further stated that continuous engagement with customers and coordinated efforts by business development units at both the zonal headquarters and divisional levels played an important role in improving freight volumes. Operational teams focused on faster handling, improved coordination, and resolving local issues affecting freight movement, which helped in sustaining the upward trend.
Freight movement remains a critical revenue source for Indian Railways, and NER's performance aligns with broader efforts to strengthen freight operations across regional networks. In previous years, the zone had focused on improving terminal efficiency and attracting diversified cargo streams, which has gradually reflected in better loading figures and earnings stability during the current fiscal year.
