Rlys on the move, aims to ferry 7.4 bn passengers in FY25

The ministry is eyeing ₹1.8 trillion from its freight operations in FY25, which is 6.5 per cent higher than the Revised Estimates, but the same as the Budget estimates in the previous year.

Experts have opined in the past that railways missing its freight targets set at the beginning of the year does not bode well for its Mission 3000, under which it aims to carry 3000 mt of goods by 2030. A bulk of this revenue will come from transportation of coal at around 91,000 crore.
