Revenue collections on the standard gauge railway (SGR) rose 18.6 percent to Sh21.4 billion in 2025, lifted by steady growth in cargo haulage and a rebound in passenger traffic.

Latest data from the Kenya National Bureau of Statistics (KNBS) show total SGR revenue increased from Sh18.1 billion in 2024, extending gains recorded in the early months of last year.
