Adding to the division’s impressive list of accomplishments, it registered an all-time high of 7.10mt of freight loading in October 2025, surpassing all previous monthly records.The division’s success was driven by consistent efforts to enhance traffic facilities, ensure optimal rake availability and provide timely rake allocations to customers, a railway release said on Sunday.Key loading points contributing to this growth include the Vizag port, Gangavaram port, steel plant, HPCL, Utkal Alumina and NMDC. Divisional railway manager Lalit Bohra congratulated the traffic department for this achievement and commended all associated departments for their dedicated teamwork and relentless efforts.
