Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) continues its round-the-clock efforts to serve customers and ensure the timely delivery of essential commodities across the region. Up to September 2025, the zone successfully loaded 5.557 million tonnes (MT) of freight, marking a 3.5% increase over the same period last fiscal year.
September 2025 witnessed remarkable growth in several key commodities. Cement loading surged by 48.1%, coal by 133.3%, container freight by 21.4%, and POL (Petroleum, Oil & Lubricants) by 20.1% compared to September 2024. Other segments, such as stone chips, also saw a 100% increase over last year.
The consistent rise in freight loading underscores growing economic activity in the region. NFR’s efforts not only bolster regional trade but also contribute significantly to the zone’s revenue. Looking ahead, NFR remains focused on technical advancements to enhance service reliability and operational efficiency, ensuring sustained growth in freight transportation.
