Indian Railways has flagged off a stainless steel body wagon, upgraded from an open wagon, from the Carriage and Wagon Works at Perambur. Each of the new wagons has the capacity to carry an additional freight of 11.6tns. Thus, a rake of 58 wagons will be able to haul an additional freight of 673tns, which works out to about 16.6% more than the existing payload of a rake.
