Towards Heavier and Longer
Freight Trains
• Axle load increased progressively from 20.82T to
22.82T
– 8 tonne per wagon and
– 500T per train (15% increase in payload)
• 6 iron ore routes upgraded to 25T axle load.
– 59 wagons train of 6000T.
• 7000 km identified for upgradation to 25T by 2016-17.
• 30 long haul (1+1) trains
10800T)
per day being run (upto
• Double Stack Container trains are being run from ports
of Pipavav, Mundra (2x9½) to Gurgaon (Delhi).
• Periodicity of train examination increased to 35 days
(Closed Circuit Rakes) and 15 days (premium) for
optimum utilisation of rolling stock.
Planned Developments
in Rolling Stock for Heavy Haul
