Creating a record amongst all zonal sections of Indian Railways, Northern Railway's earnings crossed over Rs 10,000 crore in passenger and parcel segments, in FY 2022-23.

Though there were various constraints and challenges, Northern Railway has successfully crossed significant barriers in passenger, parcel, and other coaching earnings in the fiscal 2022-23, said Northern Railway general manager Ashutosh Gangal.

The final figures of the financial year are likely to be around Rs 11, 000 crore. Not only is this an all-time record for Northern Railway, but it also maintains its position as the best-earning zonal railway in the passenger segment.

The passenger earnings of Northern Railway are over Rs 4,000 crore higher than the second-placed railway.

Northern Railway’s revenue from the parcel business, of Rs 500 crore in FY 2022-23, is again the highest ever and the best amongst all zonal railways. This is approximately Rs 200 crore higher than the next-placed railway.

It has been a historic and the best-ever performance of Northern Railway in passenger and parcel segments during FY 2022-23. Northern Railway expresses its gratitude to all the customers and the traveling public for their patronage and assures its highest standards of service in meeting their expectations and aspirations, said the general manager.
