Indian Railways cuts number of rakes meant for wheat exports.
May 04, 2022
The Indian Railways has reduced the number of rail rakes for wheat movement for export purposes to only nine per day compared to daily deployment of 15 such rakes till a few days back, sources said. This has been done considering the food ministry’s request to provide more rakes for movement of the winter crop by the state owned Food Corporation of India to meet domestic demand.
So, now railways will make 53 rakes available per day to the FCI and other government agencies compared to the recent norm of providing 47 rakes for this purpose. Each rake consisting of 42 covered wagons carries about 2,800 tonnes of wheat.
This change in availability of rail rakes comes amid reports of rise in export of wheat due to a spike in global demand and depletion in stock with government agencies who have to meet their statutory requirement till April next year. Sources said the change in strategy has been made considering two factors. First, there is a need to transport more wheat by trains to ensure there is no shortage in domestic supply and second to put the export of the winter crop on a slow lane.
Officials said the strategy to get more rail rakes for FCI and government agencies has more to do with the domestic requirement. They added states which earlier could meet their wheat requirement from the procurement done within the state now need supplies from other states. Three such states are UP, Rajasthan and Gujarat.
Meanwhile, the railways, on the coal rake front, has repaired around 2,000 damaged and dilapidated wagons over the last four months spending around Rs 150 crore to augment coal movement to power plants.
