ISLAMABAD: Federal Minister for Railways Muhammad Hanif Abbasi on Tuesday announced a remarkable surge in Pakistan Railways’ daily revenue following extensive reforms implemented over the past eight months.
Pakistan Railways has been earning Rs 300 million per day for the last fifteen days, marking an unprecedented revenue milestone and breaking a 30-year record, the minister said in a statement issued here on Tuesday.
He attributed this achievement to comprehensive reforms, modernization initiatives and the digital transformation of railway operations nationwide.
Hanif Abbasi said that both passenger and freight revenues have experienced extraordinary growth as a direct outcome of the reform agenda. “Pakistan Railways is now firmly moving on the path of progress,” he added.
He highlighted that while the government has focused on upgrading railway stations across the country, special attention is now being given to track improvement.
Hanif Abbasi said that agreements for the upgradation of the Nokundi–Rohri and Rohri–Karachi railway tracks have been finalized, and work will begin very soon.
The minister reaffirmed the government’s commitment to fully implementing the Prime Minister’s vision within the current fiscal year, ensuring that all railway-sector objectives are achieved.
He said that all assigned targets will be completed by December 31, 2026.
