Freight Business Development Portal by Railways

 The Ministry of Railways has launched a dedicated portal website to promote and develop the railway freight business-the freight business development portal.


Highlights:
♦ Due to the coronavirus crisis, passenger train services have been suspended, and the railway sector relies heavily on freight revenue to make money.
♦ The Dedicated Railway Freight Corridor of India Limited (DFCCIL) is a government enterprise under the administration of the Ministry of Railways. It is currently constructing a 3,342 km east-west freight corridor to be used exclusively for trains.
♦ This is the first dedicated freight portal website that will ensure that all operations are customer-centric, reduce logistics providers' costs, provide online tracking facilities for suppliers, and simplify the cargo transportation process.
♦ The purpose is to replace physical processes with online processes to minimize the need for interaction between people.
♦ The portal focuses on the convenience of conducting business, bringing greater transparency and providing professional support.
♦ The railway company also invited consolidators, truck drivers, warehouse owners and labor providers to provide services to more than 9,000 freight customers at more than 4,000 freight stations.
