What is the typical road freight rate for ore in India?
Road freight for ore: ₹2.50–₹5/MT/km depending on truck size, road condition and region. Tipper trucks (10–15 MT) are common for short hauls; semi-trailers (25 MT) for longer distances.
When is rail transport more economical for ore?
Rail becomes economical beyond 150–200 km for bulk minerals. Dedicated rail sidings at mines (private/captive) can further reduce cost. CONCOR and zone railways offer special bulk mineral rates.
What is a weighbridge and why is it important?
A weighbridge (weigh-in-motion or static) at the mine gate ensures accurate billing and prevents overloading penalties. Trucks overloaded beyond permissible limits face heavy fines under Motor Vehicles Act.
