b. Mission 25 Tonne
c. Mission PACE
d. Mission Capacity Utilisation

ANSWER: Mission 25 Tonne
 
  • Throughput of the railway system is an outcome of tonnage and speed. Complementing Mission 25 tonne would be Mission Raftaar.
  • Mission Raftaar - It will target doubling average speeds of freights trains and increasing the average speed of superfast mail/express trains by 25 kmph in the next 5 years.
  • Mission 25 Tonne – To realise the goal of revenue enhancement, IR needs to augment carrying capacity. A critical step in that direction is making IR infrastructure suitable to carry 25-tonne axle load. It is proposed to introduce 10-20% freight loading through 25-tonne axle-load wagons in 2016-17 and target movement of 70% of freight traffic on high axle load wagons by FY19-20.
