Freight rates for the nine-metric tonne pay load section declined by Rs 1,000 at the local truck transport market in the national capital following excess position of trucks against restricted cargo movements.
Transporters said heavy availability of trucks in the market along with reduced cargo movements mainly pulled down some freight rates.
Capital to Jaipur, Gwalior and Kanpur freight rates moved down by Rs 1,000 each to Rs 17,000, Rs 15,000 and Rs 21,000.
Rates to Ahmedabad, Patna, Surat and Mumbai also went down by Rs 1,000 each to Rs 22,000, Rs 29,000, Rs 27,000 and Rs 29,000.
