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.

Stop giving freebies to extended families of railway employees. Secondly subsidize the fares for railway employees and their immediate families, no free travelling.Thirdly revenue generated by hawkers selling eatables in trains should be accounted for as money is paid in cash.

Sir, I am a Sr.Citizen. I booked sleeper class rail ticket and got confirmed ticket. Due to some reason I couldn't travele and cancelled ticket 1 day before journey date but got zero refund.
Sir, it is not fair.Earlier there was only 25% deduction. In the name of Dalal every citizen should not be punished. Kindly get control on DALALs instead of punishing poor traveler.Such collection of revenue for Rly is unjustified and against poor.Kindly revise it as it was earlier.
Regards,
Rk Nishad

Transport of stuff like bikes are currently avoided since it is a pain to go through the process. Improve the service like pick n drop at home so that people start using this service as compared to courier agencies.

If possible add an extra AC privileged entry coach to proivide sercices like spa, reading area, wi-fi, movie screening. Coaches would need to be redesigned for this however.

Indian Railway has the biggest network system in the world. I would like to suggest the rail tracks can be used for communication purpose all over india that can be given to the telecom companies for lend basis. How far it is possible I don't know, but still there is a hope for the same. If it is possible the profit is in crores of rupees only......

Digital India needs Highspeed Internet at cheaper cost and its very expensive to lay fiber optic cable for local internet providers, so as Railways has very vast presence around India it can be use to facilitate the Internet providers so that they can lay wires around railway tracks Or railway it self can lay the fiber optic cable along with their tracks to connect each city and villages in return the Internet providers pay them some monthly rent or some contractual price through auction.
