Railways kick off freight services in Nagaland, Mizoram's Sairang
Big news for the Northeast—Indian Railways just kicked off freight services from Molvom station in Nagaland, following new rail links at Mizoram's Sairang station last month.
This push is all about connecting the region better with the rest of India.
The Bairabi-Sairang rail line, flagged off by PM Modi on September 13, 2025, is now officially part of the national network.
First-ever freight deliveries in Nagaland
Nagaland received its first-ever rail freight delivery on September 24: 41 wagons full of cement from Telangana—a total of 2,624 tons.
Just days later, Molvom sent out stone chips to Tripura.
Over at Sairang in Mizoram, eight different freight rakes rolled in by September's end, carrying everything from cement and automobiles to sand.
Anthurium flowers were also shipped to Delhi as a parcel consignment.
The Railway Ministry says demand is strong and hopes this new connectivity will boost jobs and trade opportunities across the Northeast.
