Meanwhile, Federal Minister for Railways Hanif Abbasi announced that Pakistan Railways is set to export its coaches and wagons to five countries. Speaking to Geo News on Wednesday, he said exports will be made to Chile, Argentina, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Nepal.
Abbasi said ambassadors from the five countries will be invited to the Ministry of Railways this week, where officials will give presentations on the quality and pricing of Pakistan Railways’ coaches and wagons.
The minister also said Pakistan Railways recorded a record revenue of Rs. 10 billion in December, attributing the achievement to improved passenger facilities and operational efficiency.
He added that freight operations have been strengthened by involving private partners, with goods such as containers, coal, and phosphate now being transported through the railway network.
