It is a fact that movement of domestic Coal from mines has been taking place through Rail-Sea-Rail (RSR) route in order to meet the demand of various power plants. This involves movement of coal by rail in two legs i.e. from mines to Unloading Port as first leg and from subsequent Loading Port to power plants as second leg. As a matter of policy, the charging of both the legs of rail transportation is done separately and independently. The matter regarding grant of telescopic benefit in freight rate by treating both legs of rail movement as one has been under consideration from some time. 2.0 This issue has been considered and it has now been decided to permit telescopic benefit in freight rate to the coal traffic destined to the power houses transported through RSR mode from coal mines of CIL and its subsidiaries/PSUs. This will be implemented as a pilot project for a period of three years. This shall be subject to certain conditions stated as under: 3.1 The destination of the first leg will be a port on eastern coast, whereas originating point of second leg will be port on southern/western coast. The destination of second leg will be Central & State Gencos. 3.2 Specific O-D pairs for both first leg and second leg will be notified by Traffic Transportation Directorate of Railway Board. 3.3 Consignee of the first leg and consignor & consignee of the second leg should be same (i.e. Central & State Gencos). 3.4 it has to be ensured that volume of traffic moved in first leg is matched with the volume of traffic moved in second leg. 3.5 RR for first leg will be issued by levying freight at normal rate. For second leg, separate RR will be issued with benefit of telescopic principle duly cross referencing the RRs of the first leg in the second leg RRs. 3.6 While calculating the freight for second leg duly giving telescopic benefit, the freight for the combined distance of first leg and second leg will be calculated. After that the freight rate of the first leg will be deducted from the freight for combined distance of both the legs which will give the applicable freight for second leg. Accordingly, the RR of the second leg will be prepared, Illustration for the above is given in the following table: /2,;Bad A aM Rail Bhavan, Raisina Road, New Delhi 110 001 Page 1 of 3 Rates Circular No.03 of 2025 _ Say, OD pair of first leg is A (Colliery siding) and B (Eastern Port).
