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 Land can be used or Platform roofs could be fitted with Solar panels, the power could be sold to the local power department or could be used by the railways themselves.Ex: Railway Nilayam in Secunderabad could befitted with Solar Panel,this am sure has capacity to generate enough power capable to power the Nilayam, if not can be sold to the local state electricity dept. Railway platform roofs are so long, we can have maximum utilization..

Honorable sir,
1) It will be beneficiary for the people to have a toll free number for knowing the current status of the train they choose instead of surfing in the websites.
2) It is good to add separate boghi with suitable interior design for catering services.

देश में wifi से भी बढ़ कर छोटे छोटे स्टेशनों में शीट लगाना बहुत जरुरी है क्योकि देश का विकाश सिर्फ बड़े जंक्शन में wifi से नहीं क्योंकि गांव में तो wifi ही नहीं पता होता की है क्या वहा जरुरी है गर्मी और बरसात से बचने के लिए सिर छुपाने के लिए सिर्फ शहर से देश का विकाश संभव नहीं गांव में भी विकाश होना चाहिए

1.On every station there should be 1-mini hospital.
2. The color of bogey should be white so that people think before making it dirty
and of course bright colors looks like it gives more space and also feels comfortable.
3. The bogey design should be like drawing room so that everyone can sit comfortably. 4.The bogey should be divided into 2-parts..at 6.5 feet..1 lower and 1 upper..there should be small stairs in side to go to upper box.
