Truck rentals go up by 12-15% in June as economy recovery gathers pace
A pick up in infrastructure, construction and road projects has also bumped up truck fleet utilisation rate 20-30 per cent. For instance, the return trip from Delhi to Mumbai has gone up from 2.75 trips last month to 3.50 trips during June 2021. Similarly, the return trip to Delhi from Kandla has gone up from three trips of bulk carriers/ trailers to four. There has been a similar jump in full round trip for open market and most of 75 truck routes. As a result, truck operators have been able to absorb the hike of Rs 3.90 per litre in diesel prices.
