The truck freightage has stayed level | |on a large portion of the storage compartment courses notwithstanding increment in cost of activity because of 2 diesel value climbs (Dec 31 and Dec 15†² 03) totaling Rs. 2/ - | |per liter (10%) and have, actually, forcefully declined on trunk courses going through Uttar Pradesh because of resumption of over-burdening by | |trucks. | |On the other hand different State Governments had pulled back Gold token/passes/cards, which allowed over-stacking of trucks in overabundance | |of allowed weight, so as to get arrival of a lot of Central Road Fund retained s ince April 2003. The Central Government has| |stopped Central Road Fund to those State Governments, which were allowing as well as supporting over-burdening of trucks in | |contravention of Central Motor Vehicle Act, 1988 by giving Gold Cards/passes/tokens to truckers against fixed month to month/quarterly | |fee. The Central Government has taken a firm view that â€Å"over-stacking of the vehicles cause huge harm to street surface†¦ | |Recently, the State Government of Uttar Pradesh pulled back the Gold Card plot w. e. f. Dec. 15, 03 and after a month Rajasthan did the | |same w. e. f. 1, Jan 04. The ensuing rigid implementation of CMV Act, 1988 by U. P. Transport Department by not allowing the | |entry/going through of over-burden trucks from the State brought about sharp increment in truck freightage by 4% †7. 5% during the | |fortnight (Dec 1, †Dec 15, 03) and agitated the shipping business in locale. Nonetheless, this enemy of over-burdening drive was brief | |a nd has crumpled in the U. P. State, all things considered. Presently, over-burden trucks are handling and going through the State happily. Consequently, | |truck freightage indeed is being directed by the over-stacking of vehicles that existed before Dec. 1, 03. Over the most recent a month | |the truck freightage for the storage compartment courses going through U. P. has dropped by 3. 5% †6. 8%, as indicated by the month to month update discharged by| |Indian Foundation of Transport Training and Research (IFTRT). | |Union Government outmaneuvered by Rajasthan | |Followed by U. P. the Rajasthan Government, as well, had pulled back its Gold card/token plan from 1, Jan 04 to get the Central Road Fund | |released right away. Be that as it may, the State Government, intelligently has supplanted the prior unique Gold Token Scheme with another | |†AMNESTY SCHEME† by charging multi piece expense to allow unhindered over-stacking of trucks in overabundance of recommended weight limit. The first | |Jan. '04 warning has been â€Å"modified† to conciliate the Central Government, which had again would not d ischarge the cash from Central | |Road Fund. In any case, handling of over stacked business vehicles proceeds under the support of State Transport Department, calls attention to the | |report. |â | |TRUCK (16. 2 TON GVW) Hire charges/rates (Rs. per full circle 21 Dec'03 †21 Jan'04 | |Route/Round Trip |Period |Truck Hire charges |Diesel Price increment Impact | |9 ton pay load | |change/Round Trip/Period |(per full circle) 31 Dec'03 | |21 Dec'03 †21 Jan'04 | Hire Charges |Hire Charges | |21 Dec'03 |21 Jan'04 | |Rs. |% |Rs. |% | |Delhi †Mumbai †Delhi |28,800/ - |28,800/ - |No Change |NC |(+) 620/ - |(+) 5 | |Delhi †Nagpur †Delhi |28,400/ - |28,400/ - |No Change |NC |(+) 610/ - |(+) 5 | |Delhi †Kolkata †Delhi |34,700/ - |33,000/ - |(- ) 1,700/ - |(- ) 5. 0 |(+) 630/ - |(+) 5 | |Delhi †Guwahati †Delhi |69,400/ - |67,000/ - |(- ) 2,400/ - |(- ) 3. |(+) 850/ - |(+) 5 | |Delhi †Hyderabad †Delhi |43,100/ - |43,100/ - |No Change | NC |(+) 770/ - |(+) 5 | |Delhi †Chennai †Delhi |59,000/ - |59,000/ - |No Change |NC |(+) 870/ - |(+) 5 | |Delhi †Bangalore †Delhi |44,800/ - |45,000/ - |(+) 200/ - |(+) 0. 5 |(+) 770/ - |(+) 5 | |Delhi †Ranchi †Delhi |33,300/ - |31,300/ - |(- ) 2,000/ - |(- ) 6. 8 |(+) 620/ - |(+) 5 | |Delhi †Raipur †Delhi |29,300/ - |29,300/ - |No Change |NC |(+) 630/ - |(+) 5 | |Delhi †Kandla †Delhi |18,300/ - |18,300/ - |No Change |NC |(+) 340/ - |(+) 5 | |Delhi †Bilaspur †Delhi |30,300/ - |30,300/ - |No Change |NC |(+) 620/ - |(+) 5 |
