Indian Railways Sets Its Biggest Freight Target Yet: 1.7 Billion Tonnes for FY 2025‑26

Indian Railways has fired the starting pistol on an ambitious race: move 1,702.5 million tonnes of cargo in the next financial year. That’s a hefty 5.2 % jump over the 1,617 MT hauled in FY 2024‑25—and the highest target the Railway Board has ever set.

Why the bold push?

During a meeting with export promotion councils and industry bodies, Commerce and Industry Minister Piyush Goyal commended exporters for their resilience and reaffirmed the government’s support amid challenges like rising U.S. tariffs.
Exporters have urged continued proactive measures to sustain momentum in an evolving global trade environment.

Zone‑by‑zone bragging rights

The takeaway

If the network delivers, India will edge closer to its vision of shifting freight away from highways and onto greener steel tracks—cutting emissions, unclogging roads and fattening the railway’s wallet all at once. The locomotive is rolling; FY 26 will show whether every zone can keep the wagons—and the revenue—on track.
