Railways eases cargo movement between India and Nepal Rail operations between India and Nepal on Friday got a major boost with the authorisation of all cargo train operators to utilise the Indian Railways network for carrying containers bound for the neighbouring country. The Railway Ministry said in a statement that these containers could be bilateral freight between India and Nepal or third country freight from Indian ports to Nepal. It said that this liberalisation will allow market forces to come up in the rail freight segment in Nepal, and is likely to increase efficiency and cost-competitiveness, eventually benefiting the Nepalese consumers.
