The network covers 7 172 stations and is served by over 13 300 daily passenger (incl. 5 125 suburban EMU trains) and 7 400 freight trains. Approx. 29 000 route kilometers of rail had been electrified as of 2018. IR's gross revenues amounted to approx. ₹ 1.65 trillion (ca USD 23½ bn) in 2016-17.
Revenue based freight carried amounted to 1 109 million tons in 2016-17. The main commodities handled by IR during 2015-16 include coal (552 million tons), iron ores (117 MT), cement (105 MT), mineral oils (43 MT), foodgrains (46 MT), fertilizers (52 mt) and iron&steel (45 MT).
