Pakistan Railways has achieved a remarkable milestone, generating Rs. 37.5 billion in revenue during the first five months of the current fiscal year. This figure represents a significant improvement in the department’s financial performance compared to previous years.
The revenue boost is attributed to strategic reforms, improved efficiency in freight and passenger services, and targeted efforts to enhance operational capacity. Key initiatives, such as the introduction of new cargo routes and promotional offers for travelers, have played a pivotal role in this achievement.
Officials highlighted that the freight sector remains the backbone of Pakistan Railways’ revenue generation, contributing a substantial share to the total earnings. Additionally, passenger services have seen a rise in occupancy rates, further bolstering the financial figures.
The ministry has reiterated its commitment to modernizing the rail network, with plans underway for new infrastructure projects and digital advancements to ensure sustainable growth in the coming months.
This performance showcases Pakistan Railways’ potential to emerge as a self-sufficient entity and a vital contributor to the country’s economic development.
