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.

Our Railway can bring revenue to the Nation,because now the subsidy is utilized for rich who are not eligible.Please limit subsidy by linking Adhaar card to buy ticket/service of railway.other than eligible citizen,market competent fare has to be collected.But the service standard has to be kept to international level.Platforms,Railway Boundaries must be made as airport standard.and technology must be used without ticket E-GATE will not open to enter to platform.Safety,security,health standard!

रेलवे स्टेशनों पर एयरपोर्ट की तरह ही टिकट दिखाने के बाद एंट्री मिलनी चाहिए। इससे दो फायदे होंगे।
1 प्लेटफॉर्म टिकट की बिक्री अधिक होगी ... राजस्व बढ़ेगा
2 स्टेशनों पर भीड़ कम होगी
3 बेटिकट यात्रा में कमी आएगी

#IndianRailways can charge passengers who are NOT Senior Citizens or Women, but want to book tickets for Lower Berth in Sleeper & 3AC Coaches.

#IndianRailways should issue loyalty schemes for frequent travelers and allot points for frequent journeys which can be accumulated and then redeemed for free journeys. The loyalty program can also be extended for Railway Lounge wherein certain grade of passengers can use the lounge for free.
