Coal has fuelled traffic growth on IR in the last decade

7. SOURCES OF COAL TRAFFIC ON IR
At MT, coal loading in was 48% of the total loading

CIL coal Loading is below the target of rakes per day by
24 rakes per day.
Imported coal loading is significantly down.
Healthy growth in “Others”- substantial growth in
Priority D loading from goods sheds.

Significant growth in loading of following commodities in April-Aug 2017 :
– Steel (+23.3%), Iron ore (+12.8%), Cement (+12.6%), Containers (+12.6%) , Others (+10.4%)
*Shortfall in Coal loading due to less loading of imported coal (S/F 14 rakes per day) and
less loading by CIL against agreed target (214.4 rakes per day against target of 238 rakes per day)
** Shortfall in fertilizer loading due to less imports in this period

11. MAKING RAIL TRANSPORT ATTRACTIVE

12. MAKING RAIL TRANSPORT ATTRACTIVE
A NUMBER OF INITIATIVES HAVE BEEN TAKEN IN THE LAST TWO YEARS TO ATTRACT COAL TRAFFIC TO RAIL:-
TARIFF RELATED MEASURES.
“EASE OF DOING BUSINESS” MEASURES.
MEASURES TO FACILITATE ‘LESS THAN
TRAIN LOAD’ CONSIGNMENT.
CAPACITY ENHANCEMENTS MEASURES.

13. TARIFF MEASURES

14. TARIFF RELATED MEASURES
Port congestion surcharge removed to reduce freight for coal loaded from ports-April 2016
Logistics Plan for imported coal shelved- all restrictions on movement of coal by rail from Eastern ports removed-June 2016
Short lead freight concessions-July 2016

15. INCREASING EASE OF DOING BUSINESS

16. “EASE OF DOING BUSINESS” MEASURES
Powers to sanction movement of coal under priority ‘D’ delegated to the Zonal Railways. – July 2015
Permitted raw coal movement from washery sidings under priority C–
Permitted co-users to move raw and washed coal from washery sidings –
Imported coal programmes under trade category even in cases where the consignor and consignee are same  - June 2016
Last date of submission of programmes for imported coal on trade account extended upto two working days prior to closure of month concerned –
Permitted fresh sanctions against lapsed sanctions for movement of coal under Priority D – July 2016

17. “EASE OF DOING BUSINESS” MEASURES
Permitted one time relaxation for programme submission against old Deliver Orders (DOs) pertaining to April-14 to May-17 –Sep 2017
Time limit for submitting the programme increased to 90 days beyond validity period of the DO (against existing limit of 60 days) - Sep 2017
 Facility of cancelling and replacing indents under Priority D provided in the Priority ‘D’ online module. -   Sep 2017
  Discontinuation of various excise returns like ER-1 -  Sep 2017

18. MEASURES TO FACILITATE ‘LESS THAN TRAIN LOAD’ CONSIGNMENT
Movement of coal with multiple consignee is accepted – June 2016
Multi DO holders allowed to transport coal by rail to multiple consignee from point to point basis–  Sep 2017

19. CAPACITY AUGMENTATION
