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.The business of Railways is running trains well. Run them well. 2. Increase utilsation of tracks. Ensure no track is left without a train for more than 5 minutes at any time. 3. Increase platform efficiency. See that No platform is occupied with a train for more than 5 minutes. 3. Increase the speed of all trains by at least 10%. 4. Set up solar power plants on vacant railway lands along the tracks. Raliways can become larget power supplier.

1.Have one compartment for mobile mall for branded sellers. Travellers spend such captive long time, they can do lot of shopping on trains. Railays gets rent+/commission. 2. Allow mobile shopping carts of branded items on trains for a % commission. 3. Allow Artists at a fee to provide entertainment - May be leave some space in each compartment for shows or have a compartment allocated for shows, where standing audience is allowed.

Every compartment of train should be allowed for healthy commercial advertisement of various companies through e-tenders.

Leasing & Licensing of surplus land needs to be decentralized through suitable Railnet based App by delegating full powers to GMs & DRMs. Registration of these agreements with local revenue authorities shall be mandatory to avoid legal complications in future. All agreements should have an exit clause to either party under different circumstances. Different rules required for surplus land in Metro,A,B,C class & rural. If existing system is set right as above, it will fetch huge revenue.

Indian Railways must start doing paid consulting work for other countries/ institutes/organisations. Experienced Railway officers should be encouraged can share 50% or so of this earned money with Indian Railways. The consulting areas could be technical aspects of how a train runs (aspects of mechanical, electrical and electronic engineering), social aspects on how Indian Railways works cohesively with thousands of employees and millions of passengers across the nation.

The condition of retiring rooms aren't good. Use the space above the stations to build hotels and get hotel management companies to manage it for the railways.

रेलवे लाइन के दोनों और अतिक्रमण एक बड़ी समस्या है, यह अधिक दुःख दायीं उन इलाकों में है जहाँ विकास की बयार बह निकली है गांव से शहर में तब्दील होंने वाले स्थानों पर अतिक्रमण की हद यह है कि लोग छोटे -छोटे झोपड़ियां डालकर अवैध धंधे करते है कहीं तो लोग सैग सब्ज़ी फूलादि की पौध उगाकर उन्हें चार गुने दामों पर बेचकर मुनाफा काम रहे है कहीं ये जमीन कूड़ा करकट का स्थान बनकर रह गयी है भारत को ओ डी एफ नहीं होने में इस स्थान का बड़ा योगदान है लाइन के किनारे मलिन बस्तियों को हटाना आवश्यक है अन्यथा गरीबी
