Pakistan Railways has reached a historic financial milestone, posting a 14% year-on-year revenue increase to Rs33 billion in the first five months of the current fiscal year, compared to Rs29 billion in the same period last year.
This Rs4 billion boost reflects enhanced operational efficiency and strategic revenue optimization. It follows a record-breaking fiscal year 2023-24, where the railway surpassed its Rs73 billion target by earning Rs88 billion.
Key revenue contributors included passenger services (Rs47 billion), goods transport (Rs28 billion), and other sources (Rs13 billion). CEO Aamir Ali Baloch announced that groundwork for the Main Line-1 (ML-1) project is set to commence in March 2025, marking a step toward sustainable growth and modernization.
