Freight[edit]

Indian Railways earns about 70% of its revenues from freight traffic (686.2 billion from freight and
304.6 billion from passengers in 201112). Most of its profits come from transporting freight, and
this makes up for losses on passenger traffic. It deliberately keeps its passenger fares low and
cross-subsidises the loss-making passenger traffic with the profit-making freight traffic.
Since the 1990s, Indian Railways has stopped single-wagon consignments and provides only full
rake freight trains
