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.

it is difficult to keep transparency in government sector fund records, but i think you can try to create a transparent fund utilization interface for private companies taking such contracts.i think that would reduce corruption considerably and force them to use the revenue collected more efficiently.

Increasing non-fare revenue for railways. Railways lease out railway lands adjuvant to the tracks for growing vegetables and millers. This would help in additional revenue for railways; increased availability of vegetables and millers; increased employment.
