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.

Hello,

I would like to add few thoughts related to the ircrt ticketing system. Every individual is suffering problem while booking a tatkal ticket now a days. Earlier we use to get tatkal ticket easily. As the fares are increasing day by day and on top of that we need to run behind an agent to get the ticket after paying a huge sum. So this is a real burden on general public. One suggestion is to block all the agents login during the tatkal hours so that the general public gets ticket easily.

Trains boggies themselves be used for advertisement purposes. Advertising should be allowed on the outside of train boggies. (just like we see in city buses).. This will increase non fare revenue.

1.Railway has its one communication network, excess\unused bandwidths can be given to Banks or some tele communication company.
2.No of wagons in the train can be increased \decreased depending upon the bookings of the ticket. Thus it will reduce fuel consumption and ensure capacity utilization.
