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.

Introduce Point of Sale (PoS) based ticketing system including Mobile based ticketing system and involve private player to offer their products / services interacting commuters while travelling based on their journey destination route. railway can earn huge amount through service provider based on sharing travel data securely only to provide their services like offer in Diseney land, Shopping mall, restaurant, etc. I have a detailed plan to earn based on travel data

in tier -II, tier III and remote location, railway used its unused space for hotels and other activities through hybrid PPP model. it should divert all activities except main core function through PPP model to run school, hospital and many others to save expendiature.

आदरणीय रेलमंत्री जी, रेलवे विभाग की आय बढ़ाने ​के लिये मेरा सुझाव यह है कि रिजर्वेशन के हर कोच के बाहर एक इलेक्ट्रानिेक डिस्पले बोर्ड लगाया जाए जिसमें आरक्षण के उपरांत बाकी की खाली सीटों के बारे में जानकारी डिस्पले हो। अगर कोच के बाहर खाली सीटों के बारे में जानकारी वाला डिस्पले बोर्ड लगा होगा तो जिन लोगों को अचानक जाना पड़ रहा है या जिनकी सीटें रिजर्व नही नहीं हो पाई है उनको पता चल सकेगा कि किस आरक्षित कोच में कितनी सीटें खाली हैं। इससे निश्चय ही रेलवे की आय में वृद्वि हो सकेगी।.. सतीश कसेरा

A smart card can be given to a person for fortnight. Including facilities of fare, food, shopping, etc. The person with the card may use it for any one of his group(other's means, he should choose three beloved names, one of them can use the card in his absence/adhar card is must). This may save time, tax, so that, the poor can also be benefited by not charged by cancellation of ticket. Thank you, regards, Dattatreya, 9900542796.

1.You can earn revenue by selling the biodegradable and non biodegradable waste by selling it to recycling companies. This will also encourage swacch Bharat . 2.You can install mini windmills on the top part of trains to generate electricity and use it to run the stations or sell it.
