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.

Use vacant area of our big railway stations for commercial purposes like cybercafe,food park,commercial stores. Use lands beside track by leased to anyone for tree plantation this also solve some unemployment and protect soil erosion & saves our nature.also use railway's land outside station to make commercial hotel,restaurant,cyberzone,medicine shop etc.

Use the side of the coaches for advertisement as we see in city buses. Specific routes can have specific advertisements. Government programs for the masses can also be advertised on the coaches. Have waste management centers at every railway station, railways now is known as dumping ground/ toilet of India. It should be a hub for waste segregation and toilets. solar panels on the rooftop. If possible cold storage cars should be attached to specific trains.

1. Good quality of ads on station and wherever possible, considering no damage to railways/safety. 2. Reduce the money wastage, evaluate the root cause. 3.Provide internal water/food/newspaper/small item which traveler requires while journey. 4.shops on railway stations like airport. 5.weight measure machines on platforms.

Respected Sir My suggestion is that govt should start incentive scheme for TTE and TC so that they can keep close watch & catch the travellers without Ticket and collect fines. This will add double revenue and people start buying tickets or pay the fine.In both situation govt receive revenue.Also start strictly checking in the reserve coaches where one can found at least 20 people either having general ticket or no ticket.This will really help railways in revenue also passengers who has reser
