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.

sir railway can gain a large amount of money by auctioning the old used rails, damaged bogies and all the scraps that is kept at a side of every major station in the country and not even being touched by any of the concerned officials from decades and as a result being converted into just rust and nothing else. sir just by proper method involved in auctioning (like the online auctions monitored by the center) INDIAN RAILWAY can earn a very large amount of money.
