Shell out almost double for porter services as Railways revises rates at all CR stationsThe Railway Board in Delhi has approved revised porter charges at Central Railway stations. Effective immediately, porters at major stations will now receive Rs 85 per trip for handling up to 40 kilograms of luggage, up from Rs 40. Smaller stations will charge Rs 75 per trip for the same weight....

However, a porter at Dadar Terminus expressed dissatisfaction with the revised rates, stating that the porter association was not consulted and that demand for porters is declining due to the availability of lifts and escalators, as well as the increasing use of wheeled luggage.
