Indian Railway Parcel Tracking

Indian Railway Parcel Tracking- Parcels refer to small packages primarily transported by trains operated by Indian Railways (IR) for passenger trains. Indian Railways, with its extensive network spanning every nook and corner of the country, plays a vital role in facilitating balanced and inclusive socioeconomic development.

Almost every kind of item, including fruits, vegetables, food grains, fish, poultry items, electrical goods, bicycles, motorcycles, scooters, rickshaws, machinery, medicines, household items, etc., is transported through this service. Railway transport is the most environmentally friendly mode, offering the lowest rates for parcel transport and timely delivery.
