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.

Canteens Many Railway Stations donot have canteen due to High RENT charged by the railways. however the rent can be modified if the canteen provides only tea and water bottles in addition to few eatbles. many of rail canteens contract have been terminated due to heavy rent. IF categories of station are made and special concessions in rent are given then it will be a added advantage

MORE ATM's at Railway Station The ATM's at railway station are only seen in metro cities or large station. if these ATM's are made available at all station it would give rent as well as easy access to public in case of emergency

Hello Sir! Indian Rialways has well established manufacturing and engineering Units. This can be very helpful to generate the non fare revenue. We can take up the contract of the railways develoment in our neighbouring countries such as Bhutan, Bangladesh, Nepal, Srilanka and Pakistan where rail infrastructure is nothing. These countries cant afford the costly western railways where indian railway has the cost effective production approach.
