The East Coast Railway (ECoR) has set a new national record by handling 259.254 million tonnes of freight in the 2024-25 fiscal year, making it the first railway zone in India to achieve this feat. This significant milestone reflects a 1.2% increase over the previous year's figures.

ECoR has maintained its momentum in freight operations, surpassing the 200 million-tonne benchmark for six straight years. This commendable achievement highlights the zone's strategic planning, efficiency, and workforce dedication, especially amidst the annual challenges it faced.
