Roadways pip railways again - India
New Delhi,India -Indian Express, by SUMANT BANERJI -Sept 30, 2006: -- Even as fuel costs continued to rise, roadways pipped railways in freight revenue in fiscal 2005-06, not only generating more than three times freight but also improving its share in the overall freight movement in the country. While the year was one of the better fiscals for railways with a revenue of Rs 55,000 crore, roadways have fared much better at Rs 210,000 crore... The figures released by Indian foundation of transport research and training (IFTRT) do not consider distances less than 150 km to make the comparison more relevant. But if the full distance is taken into account the gap widens further as the roadways revenue goes upto Rs 2,70,000 crore... Sale of multi axle trucks has increased from 39,161 units in 2002-03 to 85,131 units in the last fiscal. This fiscal the number of new multi axle trucks on Indian roads is expected to touch 150,000 units...
