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. Saving a rupee is earning a rupee- Railways use large quantity of water for washing coaches-must collect used water & recycle 2.Every RAIL STATION roof , offices & Staff quarters roof may be cover with SOLAR PANELS TO GENERATE POWER 3. rail TOURISM DIVISION may build ECONOMY HOTELS at major stations in own land for visitors /tourists - HOTELS CAN BE leased for profit for running by private organizations if needed. 4.Allow NON-HARMFUL advertisement display in coaches [eg -tourism promotion]

As we have lack of the agriculture storage in the country railways can create the storage places at their properties not being used for either technical or the operational purposes and Railway can facilitate the moving market for the dairy and agro products in coordination with concerning government departments.This can create huge revenue for railway as well as minimize the food waste.

To increase revenue for non-tariff sources railway need to re innovate themselves by providing end to end services to its customers. There is lot of scope in involving house hold shifting services by engaging various private companies for giving end to end support. By engaging IT so that people can book freight from home and check the status of goods if any delay due to bad weather and giving update through SMS and mails in advance to customers.

Sir, Create Zone wise Digital Advertising sign boards at the platforms or stations which can be operated remotely for each Zone. This creates more avenues for advertisers and generates more revenue. Thus way the clean & green can be improved by avoiding posters. 2.Implement Solar Power on trains (easy to implement as each coach has batteries) and at railway stations (Cost saving). 3.keep the tenure to run canteens etc for 6 months to 1 year and track the performance thru Complaints.
