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.

Railway should try to make its coaches more energy efficient by creating a program for replacement of ordinary tube lights with LED lights.

railway should make a scientific attempt to identify the bottlenecks routes, where trains are getting delayed. this can be done by statistical analysis of train running status data generated daily. This can be made in collaboration with Statistics Departments of various universities. Correcting bottlenecks at the railroad tracks will reduce the running costs of train such as electricity consumption in coaches for extra hours, overtime payments for railway staff deployed on the running train.

Between Indore to Bhopal,a large number of buses running between them as evident from attached PDF,(75 buses). even more buses are running which are offering only offline tickets and there were not evident in this PDF. similarly a large number of taxis are running between these two cities.

all this traffic can get shifted to railway, only requirement being reasonable fare, correct timing and Timely arrival to destination.Failure of AC double decker was merely due to excess fare and odd timing

I am not a mechanical engineer but I believe we can build lighter trains . These trains carry only humans so they need not be built on heavy metal and this sector requires a lot of innovation . Let us provide this task to the NIT's and IIT's where we have the brightest minds of our nation. Why not we use it ? . Let us bring in competition to innovate .
Let technology drive the company . Please start using the innovative minds
