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.

The platform ticket should be available on line while booking ticket. These should be valid by QR scan and a password for single use. separate lane for use of the same should be started and as the usage increases the number of lanes increased. At other place, a vigilant TT collector should be standing

There are huge tracts of real estate by the side of rail tracks through out India. This can be leased to farmers for growing oil producing plants which can be used as part of bio fuel and can be used to run the trains. This will give employment to landless farmers and at the same time generate income for them. Simultaneously, you will be reducing the carbon footprint.

Increase your advertisement offerings, all railway bogeys have plenty of space for advertising, however the same is not utilised. Get rid of old ticketing system, come up with new system like NFC based tickets. Revamp your entire operations, get rid of manual accounting. Adopt ERP solution in all the departments. Let private players use the tracks, lease your bogeys & engines so that private players can operate them. Revamp of stations & set up warehousing facility in stations.

Bcz of long q/improper facility many people don't buy pf tickets which leads unwanted people entering pf. Hence It is very difficult to keep the PF clean. sol that generates revenue/keep PF clean Make PF tickets very minimal say only 2Rs and make it compulsory including passengers. Have multiple entry points to ease the move. Let easily available coins in the station or smart prepaid card which can be swiped at the entry.its not implementable in all the stations but at least in bng,del..etc

Railways is the largest real estate owner of the country. This captive source can be utilized to its capacity by leasing renting or utilizing the large vacant land for contractual farming both horticulture and cash crop thereby increasing revenue and contributing to the supply chain and exporting those products to our neighbouring countries through its own network.
