On the other hand, it has come to light that CR has kept its momentum of giving its best performance in commercial revenue consistent.

 During the first quarter of the current financial year i.e., from April to June 2022-23 Central Railway registered parcel revenue of INR 64.39 crores as against revenue of INR 59.25 crores during the corresponding period last year which is an increase of 8.68%. This revenue has been generated with a transportation of 1.30 lakh tons of parcel for the first quarter of the current financial year i.e., from April to June 2022-23. The revenue from parcel transportation for the month of June-2022 stood at INR 18.78 crores.

The increase in parcel revenue is attributed to the various initiatives taken by Central Railway such as setting up of Business Development Units (BDUs) on Divisions and at Headquarters office for intensive marketing and other similar innovative ideas to boost parcel transportation.
