267 million tons of cargo transported by rail in 8 months of this year

Since the beginning of the year, there has been a positive trend in the transportation of goods by rail in Kazakhstan. If last year 263 million tons were transported for the specified period, then this year – 267 million tons, an increase of 1.5%. This was facilitated by timely measures taken within the framework of the Comprehensive Plan for the Recovery of Economic Growth.

In particular, charges and payments for storage of goods, idle time of wagons, as well as fines for non-fulfillment of the loading plan for monthly requests were canceled for shippers.

In addition, measures have been taken to support passenger carriers during emergencies and forced downtime, in terms of subsidizing actual costs and wages.
