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.

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

coach should be so designed to accomodate more passengers double decker coaches specially general may be attached. water conservation needs to be adopted. manpower audit may be undertaken to optimise manpower. multiskilling needs to be adopted at larger stations also which are prevalent at smaller stations. mechanisation of cleaning equipment.

I think it would be worthwhile reducing expenditure by means of adopting LED,Solar energy in operation. reducing losses and pilferage would be another step railways need to take. safety needs to be focussed. Outsourcing needs to be more competitive. latest technology to reduce accidents etc.

Here I'd like share couple of opinion 1- non profitable train I.e those trains on the track for the sake and do not get engagement from the passenger must be discontinued. 2- e Tendring for purchasing of any material for railway and reduce the influence of contractor. 3- ticket vending machine booking with ATM henece reduce the unnecessary burden at station. Having paid dormitory with pre booking system. With class of facility. 4- old garbage must be sold out which get dimanetal on side.

Development of stations into multistoreyed commercial complexes will ensure better rental returns to railways.with the kind of passenger load handled they should be on par with airports

#IndianRailways #DynamicPricing I feel that the motive of dynamic pricing will be well served if there is a proper pricing mechanism in place.Right now by charging 32-35% over the actual fare & running the train with a few empty seats doesn't really make sense.I mean you can book a ticket for a Rajdhani Express on the morning of date of journey & still find 45-50 seats up for sale then what's the point of having such a mechanism.Maybe if better worked out it can work wonders in the long run.

the present dynamic fare system in suvidha, duronto and rajdhani trains is causing loss for railways. this should be based on bussiness models worked by students from MBA colleges
