In short
Indian Railways freight loading rose 6.14% year on year in September 2025. Revenue was up 9.3% to September 2025 levels, and coal loading increased 9%.
This matters because more freight can mean higher rail revenue and better coal supply to power plants. The reporting does not say what caused the increase or whether it will continue.
