Growing traffic underscores a resilient Indian economy

Major ports handled a total of 70.1 million metric tonnes (MMT) of cargo in July 2024, marking a 7 per cent increase YoY. This increase in cargo handling indicates a positive trend in the country’s trade and logistics sectors. The Indian Railways recorded a total freight traffic of 129.6 MMT in July 2024, registering a 4.7 per cent growth YoY, which is partly driven by the eastern and western DFCs. These DFCs are moving 10% of the total freight moved by Indian Railways, improving their turnaround time.
