Its not confusing @ all Very Simple

Leasing rate for Locomotive 900 Rupees / HR = 7.8 Million Ruppes per year 1 Locomotive

500 Locomotives will cost 3,900,000,000 Rupees i.e 3.9 Bllion Rupees

3.9 Billion Rupees , over 7 years 27 Billion Rupees


Conversion of 27 Billion Ruppes to USD = 285,353,490.47 USD


Again 7 years , project 500 Locomotives Leased ... cost is aroun 250-280 USD Million for 7 years

With no 10% middle man ... DIRECT ROUTE .. someone who takes initiative .. CAN DO PERSON

If we can get 500 Locomotives from India why not or USA or China , provided there is full agreement for repairs for leased items

Pakistan could use that money and buy 200 Locomotive FULL cash .. or I personally favor lease it from USA (Reliable 10 year warrenty) or via India or China provided there is proper paperwork


Revenue Structure for Pakistan Railways

Year 2012 : 0$ failed company borrowing cash no Locomotives

Assume they get 500 locomotives by 2013

2013-2014 : Income : 3 Billion USD ~ 280 Billion Rupees with 500 locomotives
2014-2015 : Income : 3 Billion USD ~ 280 Billion Rupees with 500 locomotives + 50 repaired
2015-2016: Income : 3 Billion USD ~ 280 Billion Rupees with 500 locomotives + 100 repaired
2016-2017: Income : 3 Billion USD ~ 280 Billion Rupees with 500 locomotives + 150 repaired
2017-2018: Income : 3 Billion USD ~ 280 Billion Rupees with 500 locomotives + 200 repaired
2018-2019: Income : 3 Billion USD ~ 280 Billion Rupees with 500 Locomotives + 250 repaired
2019-2020 : Income : 3 Billion USD ~ 280 Billion Rupees with 500 locomotives + 300 repaired

End of 7th year as you can see 21 Billion USD can be made by Pakistan Railways
out of which 285 Million only USD will be cost oof Lease !!!

20 Billion is profit for Pakistan Railways , and for purchasing new Locomotives instead of making no revenue ... which is shiaaaat standard ...

For country size of Pakistan 3 Billion USD in yearly sales is possible
Why ?

Passenger Service 1.5 Billion USD
Freight Service 1.5 Billion USD


Can Pakistan Railways make 3 Billion USD per year in Sales why not

Population of Pakistan 180 Million People, and majority of them inside Pakistan love to trave

Suppose that 40 Million Pakistanis Used Train Service in 2013-2014
Ticket Price of modest 5,000 Rupees ...one way trip

So for 2 Way return ticket ...
That is 400 Billion Rupees almost 422,762,349.58 USD


How much does Airplanes Charge one way trip ? 30,000 Rupees or 45,000 Rupees .. you do the math Pakistanis will travel on Trains or Planes

5,000 ticket vs 30,000 rupee ticket

Business is very simple we are just stuck with these POLITICIANS and farmers running the country to ground

Can you imagine how much prices for food will drop in Pakistan ???
if goods are shipped 90% by train ...

Almost 20-40 % price reduction for food items and cows and cattle etc because since Pakistan produces food items , these commodites should be cheapest inside pakistan ..

I found a lot of flaws in ur calculation -
1. No country has 500 locomotives in spare to provide u in one go

2. U r taking into consideration only price of Engines n not the entire train with atleat 10-12 coaches each along with new tracks,etc

3. PR is not used to handle such large no of trains it will require a lot of new man power n modern equipments to handle the timing of these trains n other staff to handle these trains effectively

4. All the above mentioned people will be required to pay salaries which ur missing

5. The $3 billion dollars u talking here is revenue n not net profit
Its not easy to make public transport economically profitable even Indian Railways is running in losses inspite of huge traffic load

 

[AZADPAKISTAN2009]

Pakistan Government Pays Salaries there is a annual `Budget`for corporations so there is extra revenue from Pakistan

If 1 country cannot produce 500 locomotives then 2 vendors can provide 250 locomotives each at rate of 10 locomotives shipped per month

There are many vendors that provide the service
