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.

Increase utilisation of tracks by allowing multiple privet transporters godown on railway station area. Private rail trucks / small trains at railway line having traffic or frequency of passing trains less than 20 per day. Please allow them on non traffic hours. Railway staff for railway crossing and line mans will remain same.

Few days back rail minister inaugurated elevated railway line from churchgate to virar. but its copied from the previously suggested proposal. the intensity about the traffic outside the railway stations are not known to railway officer. The suggestion is to de-congestion the station area. 1. If the coastal road is being construct, why not coastal track alongwith the road, the complete passenger traffic will be divided in to half on all parallel stations 2. Connect Panvel -churchgate-thane

INDIAN RAILWAY SWATCH BHARATH INITIATIVE. Sewage Removal by rail transporting city waste. This can be done at non-busy hours. Specially designed sewage loading stations can be made for this purpose alone. Old engines & compartments can be modified and reused for this purpose. Municipalities, corporations, manufacturers etc can get into long term contracts with railways. Steady long-term revenue. Can be combined with PMs Clean India Campaign, River Cleaning, Mine filling etc

World wide, it is observed that the operation of passenger services by government always runs into loss with very few exceptions. Where as the same operations are done by private operators in profitable manner. Answer is simple, Allow private Operation of passenger trains. It will provide revenues from operating license as well as provide improved services and employment to public.
