Transport Scenario of Parcel Traffic in India
: Road & Rail: An independent view.
Indian Foundation of Transport Research and Training (IFTRT) report of
2012 :
• India's logistic cost as a percentage of GDP is as high as 13.5% .
In developed countries, it is 7.5%. Even in BRIC countries it is 9.5%.
•
India's current GDP is 1886 billion dollars i.e. Rs.113 lac crores
(1 dollar = Rs 60).
This means, India's logistic costs @ 13.5% of GDP stands at Rs. 15 lac
crores.
•
Out of this logistic cost, Warehousing and inventory costs are at 10 lac
crores & the transportation (Road & Rail) costs are at 5 lac crores.
•
Amongst this 5 lac Crore, Road transport takes in 4 lac crores. (of
which Parcel is 1.4 lac crores + freight 2.6 lac crores) & the balance is
with Rail transport- Rs.1 lac crore (in which 99% from freight).
Thus, IR, currently, has a dismal share (1828 crore) in a 1.4 lac crore
Parcel traffic market !!

LCL / LWL Traffic






Earlier IR used to carry LWL cargo – Smalls Traffic
Since early 80s IR closed this traffic and gone for
block rake transportation.
Today IR caters only bulk cargo through block rakes.
For LWL/LCL cargo IR offers Parcel transportation
services
For LWL traffic Railway offered a freight forwarder
scheme.
Also started CONCOR in late 80s to cater demand for
piecemeal traffic.
Parcels Transportation





IR runs 3362 Mail/Exp and 4298 Passenger
trains daily.
These trains carry parcels in SLRs and VPs
attached to these trains
IR also runs full parcel trains
IR share in Parcel traffic in India is merely 1 %
It contributes merely 1.1 % in IR’s total revenue
13
Parcels Transportation




Parcel business of Rs.1828 crores is achieved
through :
SLRs of all passenger carrying trains :
Luggage, Perishables, fruits and vegetables and
Parcels booked in
VPs (indent & lease) : Fruits & Vegetables, Hard
parcels
Parcel Trains (indent & lease) : General goods ,
Milk Tankers, Fruits (Bananas, Mango ),
Automobiles.
Rail Transportation- Parcel Business
In 2013-14, IR loaded 907 parcel trains, amounting
to 2.5 parcel trains a day !!
Total revenue from parcel trains is only 227 crores
with average revenue of 25 lacs per train.
We should have been running 100 parcel trains a
day to cater to nation’s requirement of parcel
transportation.
Issues in Parcel Transportation on IR






Parcels are dealt with at Passenger Terminals only
hence hinders passenger movement. – Separate
parcel terminals are now planned
Line Capacity issue – Parcel train vs Freight train
Carrying capacity of Parcel trains
Parcel handling at terminals particularly of white
goods.
Transit time guaranty to customers
Requirement of specialized rolling stock for different
cargo
Issues in Parcel Transportation on IR


First mile and last mile connectivity
Lack of total logistic solution to customer
PARCEL BUSINESS FUTURE
