The rates for the roll-on, roll-off (RORO) service provided by Indian Railways to carriers have been formalized. The prices are equal to the road tax.

The RORO services to be operated on the Indian Railway network, including the Special Freight Corridor, are subject to these freight rates (DFC). During the Covid-19 pandemic, this service was heavily used to transport trucks with oxygen containers to hospitals.

Currently, DFC and Konkan Railways offer RORO services. This freight circular ensures consistent pan-Indian RORO billing, which was previously done on a case-by-case basis.
