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.

I think 5% revenue is not just fine for any service sector. My opinion is the revenue should increase upto 15%. So government would get more opportunities to develop railways infrastructure. Also need proper survey before announcing new trains. I travel a lot through train and air, from my experience I have seen lots of trains are running with less travelers.

Some of the railway stations can be upgraded to multi-storeyed buildings. People waiting for train can do shopping or can go for food shops there. Multiplex, Shopping, Food, Gaming Zone etc all at one place.

Increase in the fare is not the solution for revenue generation Railway should starts advertisement in the area and also for less then 300 km cc should be introduced in most of the trains.Intercity trains for short distances should be introduced for sorting out the huge rush in long distances mail & express train

Trains can have tv screens and ads can generate income.
Bogeys outside can be painted with advertisements of limited size.
