Continuing its quest to tap new markets and popularize Kisan Rail services, the Mysuru Railway Division is eyeing a slice of the onion and sponge iron market to expand its freight basket. The division perceives a major market in transportation of onion which is cultivated on over 60,000 hectares of land in Chitradurga district alone while nearly 1 lakh tonnes of the produce was transported to different States across the country by road every month. Similarly, around 70 to 80 tonnes of groundnut is being transported by road to Chennai Port daily. In connection with this the Business Development Unit (BDU) of the division met with traders and farmers from Chitradurga and Davanagere region recently to highlight the benefits of the Kisan Rail services.
