In an attempt to increase the revenue of Indian railways, the Centre is shifting its focus towards freight trains. Now, customers can book a freight train as per his requirement. Under the new formula, if an entity wants to book half a wagon then it will be possible. Soon, a customer can book a full freight train or as many wagons in the freight train he wants, or half a wagon, according to his/her requirement. Under this new formula, the Railways want to pull in the freight traffic as it has shifted from the railways to the roadways over a couple of years.
