Price realisation rose as rail freight expenses increased only 10.8 percent to Rs 1,344 crore despite an 11.2 percent rise in volumes, as the company stopped discounts after the festive period.

An industry-wide increase in exports and imports benefitted the cargo operator, whose two-thirds of revenue comes from this segment, analysts said.
