Indian Railways Begins Apple Parcel Train Service From Kashmir To Delhi

Apple boxes are seen 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.
