Indian Railways freight loading rises 5.4 pc in August, passenger traffic also sees strong growth

Digital Desk | New Delhi, Sep 13 (IANS) Indian Railways recorded a 5.4 per cent year-on-year increase in freight loading in August 2026, while passenger traffic also grew during the month, reflecting sustained demand for rail-based transportation across the country, according to the Ministry of Railways on Sunday. The national transporter loaded 137.9 million tonnes of freight in August 2026, compared with 130.9 million tonnes in the same month last year. Freight revenue also increased by 6.27 per cent year-on-year during the month. The growth in freight movement was supported by higher loading of several key commodities. Iron ore loading rose 12.1 per cent, followed by clinker at 10.4 per cent, domestic containers at 9.2 per cent and coal at 6 per cent. Finished steel loading increased 4.9 per cent, while mineral oil and fertilizers recorded growth of 3.1 per cent and 1.6 per cent, respectively. Loading of other goods increased 8.2 per cent. The increase in freight movement is expected to strengthen rail-based supply chains for industries and improve the movement of essential commodities, raw materials and finished goods across regions. The railway network also expanded its freight-handling infrastructure during the month with the commissioning of five new Gati Shakti Cargo Terminals (GCTs). The new terminals are located at Shivlakha in Gujarat, Nalli in Tamil Nadu, Shaktinagar in Uttar Pradesh, Deoragram in Madhya Pradesh and Brajrajnagar in Odisha. With these additions, the cumulative number of commissioned Gati Shakti Cargo Terminals reached 149 as of August 31, 2026. The terminals are aimed at bringing freight-handling facilities closer to production and consumption centres and improving the efficiency of cargo movement. On the passenger side, Indian Railways carried 67.27 crore passengers in August 2026, compared with 64.43 crore in August 2025. Suburban passenger traffic registered particularly strong growth of 9.02 per cent, rising to 38.01 crore passengers from 34.89 crore a year earlier. Indian Railways also expanded regular passenger connectivity during August by regularising 14 Amrit Bharat services, taking the total number of Amrit Bharat services to 86. The regularised services include routes such as Subedarganj-Lokmanya Tilak Terminus, Gorakhpur-Bandra Terminus, Gorakhpur-Delhi Jn, Ahmedabad-Bhagalpur, Lokmanya Tilak Terminus-Prayagraj Jn, Prayagraj Jn-Udhna Jn and Dhanbad-Coimbatore.

Assam CM hails NMCs 13,186 new MBBS seats, says medical education expansion major boost

Digital Desk | Guwahati, Sep 13 (IANS) Assam Chief Minister Himanta Biswa Sarma on Sunday lauded the National Medical Commissions (NMC) approval of 13,186 additional MBBS seats across the country, describing the expansion as a significant boost to medical education and healthcare capacity in India. CM Sarma welcomed the development in a post on X, highlighting the importance of expanding opportunities for students aspiring to pursue medical education and strengthening the countrys pool of trained doctors. The latest expansion has pushed Indias total MBBS intake to more than 1.4 lakh seats for the 2026-27 academic session. According to the latest NMC data, the total number of undergraduate medical seats has risen to 1,40,214 across 836 medical colleges, excluding seats at Institutes of National Importance. The increase represents a substantial expansion in medical education capacity at a time when demand for MBBS seats remains high among students appearing for the National Eligibility-cum-Entrance Test (NEET-UG). The additional seats have been approved across union territories and several states, with Karnataka, Tamil Nadu and Bihar among those registering some of the largest increases. For Assam and the Northeast, the expansion assumes added significance as the region continues to strengthen its medical education and healthcare infrastructure. The state has witnessed a steady expansion of medical colleges and health facilities in recent years, with the government seeking to improve access to specialised healthcare while creating more opportunities for students within the region. The national increase in MBBS seats is also expected to help address the growing requirement for qualified medical professionals as Indias healthcare infrastructure expands. The NMCs latest decision comes after an earlier addition of thousands of MBBS seats for the 2026-27 academic year, taking the countrys overall medical education capacity to a new high. The Centre and the NMC have in recent years focused on expanding medical education infrastructure, increasing undergraduate and postgraduate seats and establishing new medical colleges. The latest expansion is expected to provide thousands of additional opportunities to NEET-UG aspirants and further strengthen Indias medical education ecosystem. CM Sarmas reaction comes as Assam continues to position the expansion of healthcare and medical education as an important component of its development agenda.

Amid rising electricity demand and protests, TN taps generators, open market

Digital Desk | Chennai, Sep 13 (IANS) Tamil Nadu has moved to purchase an additional 2,000 MW of electricity from power-generating companies and the open market after prolonged hot weather and weak wind generation placed the states electricity network under pressure. The Tamil Nadu Power Distribution Corporation Limited (TNPDCL) initiated the emergency procurement amid a steep rise in consumption and reports of supply disruptions in several districts. The corporation expects the additional power to help bridge the demand-supply gap and maintain uninterrupted distribution. The action follows public complaints about unannounced outages lasting up to an hour in some areas. Residents also staged protests at several places, alleging load-shedding without advance notice and demanding immediate measures to restore reliable electricity supply. Explaining the situation, Electricity Minister R. Nirmalkumar said a sudden fall in wind energy production had caused a power shortage in Tamil Nadu for two consecutive days. He said similar supply constraints had affected several states and were not confined to Tamil Nadu. The Minister said the electricity required to bridge the deficit was procured from the common power supply pool on Friday evening. Following the procurement, the power supply across Tamil Nadu had stabilised, he added. In a statement issued on Saturday, TNPDCL said summer-like weather had continued much longer than anticipated this year, pushing electricity consumption considerably higher. The persistent heat increased the use of air conditioners, fans and other cooling appliances in households, commercial establishments and offices. At the same time, lower wind speeds adversely affected generation from wind energy installations, an important source of electricity for the state during this period. The fall in wind power availability also led to technical problems, including occasional voltage fluctuations in parts of the distribution network. TNPDCL said arrangements were being made to secure an additional 2,000 MW from different sources so that the widening gap between supply and demand could be managed effectively. The corporation is also monitoring the electricity network and demand pattern to prevent further disruptions. Officials said power availability would be reviewed regularly and additional purchases would be made whenever required. TNPDCL assured consumers that all necessary steps were being taken to maintain stable supply and minimise inconvenience while weather conditions and wind generation remained unfavourable.
