South Central Railway is the zone that launched the next-generation Rail Parcel App to modernise parcel booking and freight logistics. The app functions as a digital freight e-marketplace, enabling customers to book shipments online with features such as doorstep pickup and delivery, real-time tracking, automated notifications, and secure digital payments. Initially rolled out as a pilot project in seven cities, the initiative supports the broader national goal of achieving 3,000 million tonnes of cargo loading by 2030. It also aligns with Indian Railways’ digital transformation strategy to improve efficiency, transparency, and customer convenience in freight services.
