Freight rates for the nine-metric tonne pay load section rose by Rs 1,000 at the local truck transport market in the national capital today following the shortage of trucks against increased cargo movements.

Transporters said less availability of trucks against pick up in cargo movements mainly pushed up freight rates for select destinations.

Delhi to Guwahati, Kanpur and Indore freight rates were up by Rs 1,000 each to Rs 61,000, Rs 21,000 and Rs 23,000, respectively.

Rates to Kolkata, Goa, Chennai and Hyderabad also rose by Rs 1,000 each to Rs 33,000, Rs 59,000, Rs 65,000 and Rs 58,000, respectively.
