One year of Kisan Rail: Railways gives subsidy of Rs 95 Cr, reimbursed with Rs 55 Cr

While the Kisan Rail has come as a boon for farmers across the country, the railways have been left with a burden of about Rs 40 crore in the form of unpaid reimbursements from the Ministry of Food Processing Industries (MoFPI) for running these trains for a year at a 50-per cent rebate. From October 14, 2020, to October 10, 2021, the Indian Railways has provided a subsidy of around Rs 95 crore to farmers for ferrying their goods on Kisan Rail trains.
