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.

scarp the dynamic fare system in suvidha trains and have fixed fare system which is the average of all the fares in premium trains. the fares should be based on market demand and competitive with other modes like bus and flight.

The railway land which is encroched by people illeagly can be converted into wholesale market. the goods can be transported from farmland by train to the consumers. at railway stations the wholesale market can distribute to the retailers. this will help the farmers in a large way. farmers market can also be set up a railway premises.

1. Increase income by plantation alongside railway track on the basis of rope and grow....By which we can achieve two goals together... Environment first and money second 2. Study about Officers guest house along with other guest houses...In a single time ....How many rooms generally vacant....And let them use as retiring room to passengers.... 3. Use Solar Panel on the roof side to reduce electricity charges......

1. provide paid high speed internet on trains so that people can work while traveling. 2. facilitate a way for people to order food, beverages, medicines, essentials needs via a mobile app/website/sms and vendors can deliver at the next station. 3. on demand movies and entertainment streamed to passengers' devices while traveling. not difficult to implement 4. premium housekeeping (premium blankets, cleaning, etc) for people who can afford 5. allow private vendors to setup shops in stations

Allow the Private sector Companies to Advertise on The back of the railway Tickets,And advertsing on the Rail coaches with specific size.Allowing E-commerce Company to open offline stall in the Railway Station and they would sell the essential products by orders placed on their sites and delivers product on the station based on the user choice.

AS PER MY DRAWING EXAMPLE IF ALL THE MAIN RAILWAY STATIONS MADE OF PERMANENT CONCRETE BUILDING INSTEAD OF IRON SHEDS THERE WILL BE ENOUGH SPACE TO BUILD MALLS, 5 STAR HOTELS, PARKING, GOVERNMENT OFFICES, SHOPPING MALLS ETC FROM THIS WE CAN EARN ENOUGH MONEY TO MAKE RAILWAY WITH LESS TERRIFF AND BEST SERVICES

My Idea is about Business Express : I would suggest that the train journeys that happen during the day time can be made as social journeys. People traveling for business can choose to share linked their LinkedIn Profiles and their Business Objectives. A match making algorithm can prompt travelers to select from a shortlist of possible co-travelers there by converting 4 to 5 hrs journey into amazing productive business meetings.
