In fiscal year 2022, the average freight train speed across India was around 37.8 kilometers per hour. Indian Railways has taken measures to improve the freight traffic volume and speed owing to the rapid development in the core industrial areas such as coal, iron and steel ores and agriculture. The sharp increase in the speeds can be due to the COVID-19 related travel restrictions imposed on public.
