This will benefit all the stoppage farmers and traders of the route. Initially, this train will be weekly, but Indian Railways has clarified that the trains’ trips and stops can be increased on the demand of the states. The Central Railway has urged all farmers, aggregators, market committees and loaders to come forward to take advantage of this train service.



The Ministry of Agriculture says that this effort has been made to double the income of farmers. With the help of the train, farmers will be able to earn more profit by bringing products like fruits, flowers, vegetables in a short time. The cost of transportation of trucks was also high with time. Train coaches will be like fridges. They will not spoil vegetables, fruits and fish. It will be cold storage running on the rail tracks.
