The North Railway (Lucknow) division is aiming to boost freight transportation by strengthening ties with businesses. The marketing department staff will visit major commercial hubs and explain to traders the advantages of using trains to transport goods, which are more cost-effective and secure compared to other modes. They will also gather...

feedback from businesses. The initiative involves utilizing the sitting-cum-luggage racks (SLR) in mail, express, and passenger trains for transporting goods. Each rack can carry up to 4 tons of goods. The division has instructed the marketing staff to regularly visit commercial areas, share information, explain the benefits of using railway services, and take feedback. Freight charges are calculated based on the train and distance, ranging from a minimum of 55 paise to a maximum of 9 rupees per kilogram. Businesses sometimes lease an entire SLR for transporting large quantities of goods. In such cases, goods are transported in another SLR or on other trains on the same route. Trains are categorized based on freight capacity: 'R' category includes high-capacity trains like Rajdhani Express, Mysore Express, Ganga-Kaveri, Shramjeevi, Mahanagari, and Pawan Express, while 'P' category includes express trains carrying relatively lower volumes. 'S' category consists of passenger trains. This initiative has led to an increase in revenue by connecting more businesses with railway services, and regular feedback is being collected.

Train aur distance ke hisaab se, mal dhulai ki rates minimum 55 paise se maximum 9 rupees per kilogram tak hain. Business waale kaafi baar pura SLR lease kar lete hain jab unke paas bahut zyada saman hota hai. Aise mein, dusra SLR ya us route ki dusri trains se saman bheja jata hai. Trains ko freight capacity ke basis par 'R', 'P' aur 'S' categories mein divide kiya gaya hai. 'R' category mein Rajdhani Express, Mysore Express, Ganga-Kaveri, Shramjeevi, Mahanagari aur Pawan Express jaise high-capacity trains hain. 'P' category mein relatively low capacity waale express trains hain. 'S' category mein passenger trains aati hain. Is initiative se railway services se zyada business connect ho rahe hain aur revenue badh raha hai. Regular feedback bhi liya ja raha hai.
