Ministries of coal, power to finalise freight cost cut plan: NITI Aayog

Coal freight is the biggest source of revenue of railways, accounting for almost half of its freight basket which earned the national transporter Rs 1.43 trillion in 2021-22

NITI Aayog is pitching for reduction in freight charges for transportation of coal. This would form part of the policy to optimise the cost of coal in the country, which the central government think tank said would be prepared by coal and power ministries.
