Imported cargos pile up at Paradip port on rake shortage

Paradip port
The Paradip port is holding about two million tonnes of imported cargo, mostly coal. The evacuation has become a problem due to non availability of enough rakes. The requirement is 11 to 12 rakes a day, but the availability is no more than seven to eight.

Normally, the rakes arriving at the port with export goods are used for loading import cargo. Earlier, seven to eight iron ore rakes would arrive at the port daily. The number has now dropped to four, partly due to the slump in overseas demand for ore and largely due to the Orissa Government's restriction on loading of iron ore rakes following complaints of illegal mining. Though the Railways often places empty rakes to facilitate evacuation, it does represent a cost.
