Pakistan Railways revenue increases Rs33 billion in the first five months of the fiscal year

Pakistan Railways has achieved a historic financial milestone, reporting a 14% year-on-year revenue growth, reaching Rs33 billion in the first five months of the fiscal year, up from Rs29 billion last year.

This increase of over Rs4 billion reflects improved operational efficiency and strategic revenue optimization. The railway sector’s strong performance follows a record-breaking 2023-24 fiscal year, where it earned Rs88 billion, surpassing its target of Rs73 billion.

The revenue came from passenger trains (Rs47 billion), goods vehicles (Rs28 billion), and other sources (Rs13 billion). CEO Aamir Ali Baloch also announced that groundwork for the Main Line-1 (ML-1) project will begin in March 2025, paving the way for long-term growth and profitability.
