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.

Respected sir, 1. Please take action for strong ticket examination in all compartment. 2. In my view 40% people are travelling without tickets or pass. If appoint more TTE for local trains or passenger trains, thousands of fund/penalty collection can be recovered. 3. Strict ticket checking should be in every stations, because most of the public entering in the platforms without platform ticket or travelling tickets. Most of the companions are not purchase platform ticket. SALEELAN. N.

If government start chasing for money and charging customers in opportunistic way...then why taxi operators and Riksha walls are being opposed. Alow them also. Allow everyone, Lets have two MRP on products...one for lean season and one for demand season. Sir, please avoid surge pricing in railways.

All railway stations must be made ISO standards. No passenger or guests should be allowed inside without tickets or platform tickets. Introduce smart card tickets for all stations to avoid unnecessary people roaming.

1. Increasing the no. of Double Decor coaches vl reduce the ratio of Tot Wt of the Train to Total Capacity of Passengers thus savings in fuel/electr consumption. It vl definitely show huge impact. Ofcourse, some effective measures/precautions are to be taken. Discussion with technical experts may be held. 2. Just like sr. citz, make DOB proof compulsory for the children to avoid improper use of concessional/ticket less travels. A good step is already taken by giving option to select the berth.

1. Ensure ticket is taken for every ride by every passenger especially in General Compartment 2. Ensure you have space for Advertising 3. Regenerating energy while braking of trains- will help in reducing 25% less fuel/energy 4. Reduce wastage of water and resources 5. Increase cabins in high waiting list trains 6. Non used raw material to be scrapped and amount recirculated within speculated time. Time frame to be set 4.

Railway Insurance Policy This is an idea which can lead to very high capital gain. Every day more than 2 million people travel in the long distance trains. If we include 5Rs mandatory insurance fees along with the ticket price. we get 1crore rs/day. For a year, it will exceed 365 crore rupees. The money which is gained should be used in case of any train accident and the money should be given to the victim families. The balance money should be invested in some railway development projects.
