In an endeavour to address the inadequacies of capacity constraints and improve its modal share in total freight eco system of the country, Indian Railways has come up with Draft National Rail Plan.

A draft of long term strategic plan called the National Rail Plan has been developed to plan infrastructural capacity enhancement along with strategies to increase modal share of the Railways. The National Rail Plan will be a common platform for all future infrastructural, business and financial planning of the Railways. This plan is being circulated among various Ministries for their views now. Railways aim to finalise the Final plan by January 2021.

The draft strategy document may be accessed at- Click here

You may share your valuable inputs/comments/suggestion on the draft latest by 22nd January 2021.

The existing information infrastructure—the Freight Operation Information System (FOIS)—is beneficial to bulk cargo transporters, but is insufficient. It should be expanded to allow bookings on the same platform. Booking a rake should be as simple as buying a passenger ticket.

Iron ore bookings and the concessional scams around it has been a major area for losses for the Railways. South Eastern Railways has admitted to freight evasion of Rs1875.63 crore ($312 million) in 15 cases, the real evasion maybe larger. This can be controlled by payment of full freight first and concession to be repaid or be adjusted against future freight payment. This will ensure cash flow and check evasions.

Railways charges freight on the basis of the shortest route to the destination, not on the number of miles or kilometers traveled. Yet congestion on major routes means that the shortest route is rarely taken. This needs to change, and every cargo booking needs to be made profitable.

It would be prudent to restructure the organisation, including streamlining the traditional four-tiered organisation into a three-tiered system.

Indian Railways should immediately corporatise its production units and construction wing, segregate its passenger and freight businesses, and restructure the Railway Board. It could integrate civil engineering with signalling, mechanical with electrical, and merge material procurement with, say, finance...

I have to keep my track special for trains that transport goods. Also the speed of trains should be increased. Because the faster we transport goods, the faster our country will develop. Our Indian Railways Mix in our Government of India. Also take a railway ticket and take action against them. The government should take steps to ensure that everyone takes a railway ticket. This will increase the revenue of Indian Railways. Proceeds can be used to build or buy new trains as well as clean up exis

First of all timing although pre covid trains are doing much better in this but still this is the main problem of our railway system, 'Delayed' operation. secondly Unnecessary passenger without ticket strictly prohibited because this is the main reason behind unhygienic our trains. timing and clean trains should be our main focus till 2025.

First of All Indian Railway should be punctual. Secondly, unnecessary passenger load should be prohibited, because this load ultimately responsible for too much crowd & non hygienic condition in most of or Indian Trains.only Passengers having confirm or Waiting tickets allowed in Trains. It's hard but to prevent unnecessary problems these steps are necessary.
