10. Axle load increased progressively from 20.82T to 22.82T – 8 tonne per wagon and –500T per train (15% increase in payload) 6 iron ore routes upgraded to 25T axle load. –59 wagons train of 6000T. 7000 km identified for upgradation to 25T by 2016-17. 30 long haul (1+1) trains per day being run (upto 10800T) Double Stack Container trains are being run from ports of Pipavav, Mundra (2x9½) to Gurgaon (Delhi). Periodicity of train examination increased to 35 days (Closed Circuit Rakes) and 15 days (premium) for optimum utilisation of rolling stock. Towards Heavier and Longer Freight Trains

11. Planned Developments in Rolling Stock for Heavy Haul Track friendly bogies for 25/32.5T axle load wagons Wagons - 25T & 32.5T axle load with improved pay load to tare ratio High horsepower locomotives – 6000 HP (Diesel), 9000HP, 12000HP (Electric) Distributed Power Control System for locomotives
