Freight rates for nine-tonne pay load section to Patna and Mumbai dropped by Rs 1,000 at the local truck transport market today following excess availability of trucks against restricted cargo movements.
Transporters said restricted movements of cargo against easy availability of trucks pulled down freight rates for select destinations.
Delhi to Mumbai and Patna freight rates moved down by Rs 1,000 each to Rs 28,000 and Rs 26,000, respectively.
Elsewhere, freight rates for other centres hovered around previous levels on some support.
