Freight rates decline on easy availability of trucks

Freight rates for the nine-metric tonne pay load section softened by Rs 1,000 at the local truck transport market in the national capital Thursday following huge position of trucks against reduced cargo movements.

Transporters said apart from large availability of trucks, less cargo movements led to decline in freight rates for select destinations.

Freight rates from Delhi to Vijayawada, Puducherry, Guwahati, and Patna dropped by Rs 1000 each to Rs 60,000, Rs 67,000, Rs 59,000 and Rs 28,000, respectively.

Rates to Kochi and Ahmedabad also fell by Rs 1000 each to Rs 75,000 and Rs 23,000, respectively.

These are the rates for transporting places and freight cost may be up and down on distance situations from the transport stations.
