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.

1. Introduce sponsored bogey in train. For Example One of the bogey will be maintained by say a company like TATA or IndiGo (for example). They will maintain, serve passenger and look after the booking. Thus extra revenue. 2. Introduce Ticket booking through other Online Payment Portal Like Paytm, Freecharge etc. 3. Given sponsorship for the seats in the train. Maybe company like IKEA, Pepperfry (furniture manufacture) may invest. ---More Suggestion in PDF--- Shushant

Sir. Railway can make money from the Solid wastes generating from the railway. I did my M.Tech Project from Kannur Railway station(Southern Railway) in this topic. Also by using that waste railway can make paneling sheets which can be used to furnish the compartments. I named the developed system as IRWMS(Indian Railways Waste Management System). Just like IRCTC if this system is started it will be a boon to environment and will be a non-fare revenue for railways. Please check pdf attached.

increasing revenue for public services can be boosted up with advertisement. we can advertise for various companies at, ticket prints, as a dialer tune of railway help line on the website on the walls of train bogeys we can transform the whole look of trains by using companies advertisement. as GSRTC did, we can say companies that they design prints on the trains and they can put in few parts. companies pay huge amount for their campaign.
