I n a bid to boost the freight traffic by Indian Railways, Western Railway has set up multi-disciplinary Business Development Units (BDU) at Zonal Headquarters and its Divisional Units. The aim of setting up these BDUs is to improve business prospects in freight market by incorporating new ideas and initiatives. As per the directives of the Railway Board, Western Rly has also come up with various incentive schemes to attract freight transporters to tie up with Railways for transportation of their goods and parcels. With the help of these freight incentives, Indian Railways is offering the traffic to freight customers at competitive unit rates, which are lower as compared to Road transportation and to add to this, freight will be delivered to the destination at speedier pace with assured timings.
