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.

List of all the approved vendors/ road hawkers and their allowed spaces: There are a lot of small vendors who sell from peanuts to clothes to electronics in trains and other railways premises. To make it legalize and for safety purposes, the activity should be allowed to licensed vendors. E.g; a small fee of Rs. 2000-5000 per year can be charged to the vendors and they can be provided an identity card which would authorize them to carry their activities in a specific area.

A centralized database to provide all the information for all the commercial opportunism available with the Railways. Especially for advertising and retailing opportunities available with Railways and slowly the database to include all other opportunities like sale of scrap, data demonetization etc.
