Indian Railways Begins Apple Parcel Train Service From Kashmir To Delhi

Kashmiri fruit growers unload apple boxes from a truck onto a railway parcel van at Budgam Railway Station in Budgam, Jammu and Kashmir, on September 11, 2025. Indian Railways operates a daily parcel train to transport apples from the Kashmir Valley to Delhi, officials say on Thursday. The move brings much-needed relief to the horticulture sector in the region. Recent floods in Kashmir damage apple crops, and farmers struggle to transport their harvest due to the closure of the Srinagar-Jammu National Highway (NH-44), which is severely damaged by incessant rainfall, triggering landslides and washing away portions of the road.
