The incremental loading in the month of June has been 12.72 MT i.e. growth of 11.28 % over the previous best June figures achieved in 2021
Indian Railways has carried forward the momentum of the previous year in the year 2022-23 as well and has recorded the best-ever Monthly freight loading of 125.50 MT in June’22. The incremental loading in the month of June has been 12.72 MT i.e. growth of 11.28 % over the previous best June figures achieved in 2021. With this, Indian Railways has had 22 straight months of best-ever monthly freight loading.
This growth has been fuelled by incremental loading of 13.19 MT in Coal, followed by 1.68 MT in Cement & Clinker, 1.57 MT in Balance other goods and 0.64 MT in Food grains.
The cumulative freight loading in the first quarter of the year has been 379.4 MT as against 339.3 MT achieved in 2021-22 i.e. an incremental loading of 40.09 MT, with a growth of 12% over the same period last year.
The freight NTKMs (Net tonne-kilometres) have increased from 63.3 Billion in June ’21 to 75.8 Billion in June’22 registering a growth of 20 %. This is because of the fact that apart from an increase in Freight loading there has been an increase in Freight leads, which has increased by 7.4 %. The cumulative NTKMs in the first three months have also grown by 19.8 %.
With this, Indian Railways has had 22 straight months of best-ever monthly freight loading
The sustained efforts of Indian Railways to increase the supply of Coal to Powerhouses, in close coordination with the Ministry of Power and Coal, have been one of the key features of the freight performance in the month of June. The loading of Coal (both domestic and imported) to Power Houses has increased by 15.9 MT in June with 51.2MT Coal being moved to Powerhouses as against 35.3 MT last year, i.e. a growth of 45%. Cumulatively, in the first quarter of the year, IR has loaded more than 34.7 MT of extra coal to Power Houses as compared to the same period of last year with a growth of more than 30%.
In terms of the number of rakes of coal loaded per day for Powerhouses, Indian Railways has moved more than 420 rakes of domestic coal and more than 32 rakes of imported coal on a daily basis over longer distances. This is reflected in the increased lead of Thermal coal from 457 Km to 565 Km.

The commodity-wise growth number show that IR has achieved impressive growth in almost all commodity segments with the following growth rates :
Commodity Variation (MT) % variation
Coal 13.19 26.23
Cement and Clinker 1.68 15.38
Food Grains 0.64 11.55
POL 0.47 12.90

Minister Rajeev Chandrasekhar visits UK PM Boris Johnson along with Startups, Unicorn Heads from India
Discuss achievements of Digital India and seek future collaborations in Innovation & technology sector
Union Minister of State for Electronics and Information Technology Rajeev Chandrasekhar on Friday met UK Prime Minister Boris Johnson along with a delegation of Indian startups, Unicorns and innovators. They both discussed about future collaborations and partnerships between India and UK in the innovation and technology sector. Mr Chandrasekhar also met Mr Paul Scully, British MP in this connection.
Later briefing reporters, Rajeev Chandrasekhar said both India and UK want to dramatically expand the innovation economy. “We want to take the digital economy to be 25 per cent of the total economy. The UK government also wants to expand the slice of that pie too”, he said.Rajeev Chandrasekhar also held ministerial roundtable discussions with Ms Priti Patel, Home Secretary- UK, Ms Anne-Marie Trevelyan, Secretary of State for International Trade and President of the Board of Trade- Government of UK and Mr Chris Philip, Minister for Technology & Digital Economy UK at the India Global Forum.
On India’s progress in the field of technology, the Minister said that unlike the 1990s when India used to rely on all its technological needs and used to import all parts and equipment for everything it produced, the scenario is completely different today. “It is now designing 5G gear and manufacturing the devices that go into the making of 5G products. All this has been achieved under Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s Digital India vision,” he added.
“Need to work closely with partner countries for data security and in shaping the future of a secure internet,” Rajeev Chandrasekhar at the IGF, UK
Rajeev Chandrasekhar also attended a session on the Future of Digital at the IGF, UK where he put forth his views on the rapid digitalization and the need for safeguarding Digital Nagriks against user harm. As Cyberspace is a boundaryless domain, he called for collaboration amongst counties, especially like-minded democracies, to ensure safety and trust for the users.
“The data economy has created an awareness that something needs to be done for the safety of user citizens. We as policymakers have to look at data from the prism of user safety. With the growth of the internet & big tech influence, we are at an inflection point. Safety& trust will be paramount & India can’t do that alone, we need to work with partner countries in shaping the future of a secure internet”, he emphasized.
Earlier in the day, Mr Chandrasekhar offered obeisance at the statue of Basaveshvara, (or Basava as he is fondly referred to), a 12th-century Kannada philosopher and social reformer, who fought against discrimination on the lines of gender, caste or class. His ideas of democracy and ahimsa have inspired generations. The statue has been installed on the banks of the Thames, near the British Parliament. It was unveiled by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in 2015.
