iv) Recommend ways and means for monetization of resources of Indian Railways
v)Help identify other sources of funding for meeting the long terms modernization, expansion and updation needs of Indian Railways
vi)Identify avenues for reduction in expenditure.
Kindly share your views on the above latest by Tuesday, December 9th.

increasing min speeds for inter state trains at 150 kmph & inter city speed at 100 kmph, this will double the trips on same infra (fixed) cost, many ppl are not able to get tickets can now travel thru trains with extra capacity being created (specially UP plying trains), this will increase revenue and faster speed will help travellers at large more

The revenues can be augmented I believe, if we had entry restrictions to the platforms, so that we may be able to identify ticket less travellers. Fares can be increased if the Railways can be transparent with how the finances were utilised. Premium trains must be introduced with increasing frequencies as this may help conversion from air traffic. There is a need for tickets to be available upto 6 hours before journey commencement time at a premium rate, but the rates must be lower than the airfares. Cleanliness and care of travellers must also increase for increased revenues and usage. more
