Freight rates decline on restricted cargo movements

Freight rates for nine-metric tonne pay load section declined by Rs 1,000 at the local truck transport market in the national capital today following inadequate cargo movements amid large availability of trucks.

Transporters said restricted cargo movements against adequate position of trucks, mainly led to fall in freight rates for select centres.

Delhi to Patna, Surat and Kolkata freight rates moved down by Rs 1,000 each to Rs 26,000, Rs 27,000 and Rs 31,000.

Rates to Chennai, Mysore and Puducherry also went down by Rs 1000 each to Rs 67,000, Rs 69,000 and Rs 70,000.
