are:

● Single Point of Contact within Indian Railways –

18. Non-Fare Revenue

sources, excluding passenger and freight receipts.
NFR policies primarily deals with advertisement on
• Inside the stations

yielding activities, Indian Railways has decided to promote new ideas and
concepts for enhancement of non-fare revenue.
•Guidelines on ‘New Innovative Non Fare Revenue Ideas Scheme’
(NINFRIS) have been issued. The scheme is to be executed at the
Divisional level on Zonal Railways.
•The scheme has been very recently issued on 21.05.2018.
• Receiving, Examining and Implementing of New Ideas and Concepts by
Zonal Railways is an on-going process.

20. OBJECTIVES OF NON FARE REVENUE
New ideas and concept received under
Non-Fare Revenue by the Railways are as follows:
•Display of Advertisement in Passenger Reservation System (PRS) Ticket,
•Robotic Massage Chair with Foot Massager and Body Mass Index Machines,

• Advertising in EMU Rakes through Public Information
System
• On Board Shopping in Mail/Express Trains

22. OBJECTIVES OF NON FARE REVENUE
New ideas and concept received under Non-Fare Revenue

•Health ATM
•Jingles at various Stations
•Tex Plaza at Station and Setting up of a mobile food court at Railway Station
•Publicity on panel Truss and Ceiling of platform shelter
•Publicity rights on glass façade at Railway Station
•Dual display infotainment system
•To generate revenue from Non Fare Revenue sources
• Indian Railways has fixed an annual target of Rs.1200 crore for Budget
Estimate 2018-19.

23. Fare and non fare revenue share
•This Project Aim to maximize the revenue of Non Fare box revenue and
make a Indian Railways more economical sustainable as fare-box revenue
are not sufficient to sustain the operations and repayment of loans. Major
sources of revenue for Metro Projects are:
1. Fare Box – which accounts to almost 80-90 %
2. Non-Fare Box – which accounts to 10-20%
•The problem with Fare Box System is that we are not able to recover the
cost, also the actual ridership is low than that planned. So, mostly it goes
into loss. So, there is a need to improve the non-fare box revenue share
where fares are very dynamic and gesture low revenue.

24. SCOPE OF NON FARE REVENUE
Although Indian Railways enjoy the highest captive eyeballs in a
Railway system internationally, 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

REVENUE COMPARISON :
Hon'ble Minister of Railways had announced during the Railway Budget 2016-17 that
"Although we captive eyeballs in a railway system internationally, we earn less than 5% of our
revenues through non-tariff sources. Many of the world railway systems generate 10% to 20%
of their revenues from non-tariff sources. Over a period of the next five years, we will strive to
reach this world average by monetizing assets and undertaking other revenue yielding
activities."
