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.

Cut down internal costs. More often than not it is the internal costs which make you heavy. DO NOT ALWAYS BLAME THE PASSENGERS... though they are a reason but your staff makes them so.
Have a detailed study of your expenses, staff, assets utilisation, etc and then you will see where the fault lies.

Major non-fare income sources are:

1)"Advertisements" like hoardings, banners, posters, etc. in the railway stations and coaches.
2) "Real estate" - Lease/ Rent of the railway lands.
3) Availability of basic healthcare like weighing machines, automatic BP monitoring and other non-invasive diagnostic & monitoring tools in the railway stations and if possible in the coaches also.
4) Providing entertainment games, etc. in the railway stations.

1. Enforce ticket checking in stations and carriages strongly. Railways is losing a lot of income in ticketless travel all over India.
2. Unreserved travel in reserved coaches has become a menace. Increase the fine for such travel and enforce it strongly.

If you do these two properly, Railways will stand to gain hundreds of crores of rupees.

Real Estate :Start a new company to develop commercial lands to built office complexes and let out to other state/central government departments.

Food : Any multiplex in the country is surviving because of food courts.We can invite large corporates/MNCs to setup master kitchens at major stations in each division. They will supply good quality food at all stations in the division. We will discontinue existing canteen system.

Mobile towers can be placed all over India and lease them
