NEW DELHI, Jan 6: Freight rates for nine-metric tonne pay load section for select destinations rose by Rs 1,000 at the local truck transport market in the national capital today, largely on the back of pick-up in cargo movements against tight availability of trucks.

Delhi to Jaipur and Chandigarh advanced by Rs 1,000 each to Rs 18,000 and Rs 20,000, respectively.
Rates to Indore, Gwalior and Ahmedabad also moved up by Rs 1,000 each to Rs 22,000, Rs 14,000 and Rs 23,000, respectively.
