ECoR continues to play a pivotal role in fulfilling the logistics requirements of vital industries and major ports within its jurisdiction, including Paradeep, Visakhapatnam, Gangavaram, Gopalpur, and Dhamra. The zone caters to critical sectors such as steel, power, aluminum, fertilizers, and cement, with key commodities like coal, iron ore, alumina, manganese, and bauxite forming the bulk of freight traffic.
This milestone reflects not only the railway’s operational efficiency but also its rising commitment to supporting India’s industrial demand. Notably, the achievement has been realized 12 days earlier than in FY 2024–25 (160 days) and 23 days earlier than in FY 2023–24 (171 days).
Through continuous improvements in freight handling and port connectivity, East Coast Railway remains a cornerstone of India’s economic growth by ensuring the faster and seamless movement of essential goods across industries.
