Although Indian Railways enjoy the highest captive eyeballs in a railway system internationally, it earns less than 5% of its revenues through non-tariff sources. Many of the world railway systems generate 10% to 20% of their revenues from non-tariff sources.

IR typically has focused on increasing revenues through tariff hikes. It wants to change this and challenge the conventional thinking by exploiting new sources of revenue so that every asset, tangible or non-tangible, gets optimally monetized

We invite ideas from citizens on increasing non fare revenue for Indian Railways.

Issue to paperless tickets and automated reservation systems can save a lot of time and money. And issue to traveller cards or tourist card in the metro cities may cause add-on revenue.

Put optimized Adsense ads in the websites of the indian railways as these are the best places to post google ads and also websites like IRCTC can auction small portion on there website to foreign companies to post their ads or banner on fixed cost and time-constrained manner.

If Railways put solar panels on Every platform there will be lot of savings on electricity which can be used to light up nearby villages and run railways. Excess power can be sold to companies selling power.

Use Automatic lighting and fans which use heat / motion sensors, which can detect human beings, there should be some minimum lights always on for safety reasons but most of the lights and fans on stations and within railway compartment will go off automatically when not needed also start using LED lights
