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.

Start inter city packers and movers service or tie up with existing players in same market. They are spending huge on Road Transportation especially from one city to other. Can be established as a separate entity as a part of Railways with specialized professionals managing same.

Provide two platforms at each station between Vadodara-Chhota-Udaipur to increase frequency of trains. This can be followed for similar lines.

Gujarat has very large network of narrow gauge. If it is converted to broad gauge and if one runs DEMU/ MEMU lot of road traffic can be reduced. Example is Vadodara - Chhota-Udaipur line, it has reduced vehicular traffic and also the revenue is also good. This network can also provide alternate routes during calamity/ accident.
