i know that but who would tell it to apptards.
This is indeed a good thing in the rail budget to increase the general class coaches.
More importantly it's a realistic budget that has none of the appeasement tactics like low balling fares and needless new trains.
you're not really annoying are you??
What does this ratio indicate? Below 100 operating ratio means that railways have surplus fund.More importantly it's a realistic budget that has none of the appeasement tactics like low balling fares and needless new trains.
Look at what that had done to the railways.
It’s an organization that carries over 2.3 crore passengers a day, and over thousand million tonnes of freight a year with a total track length of 1.16 lakh kilometers. In FY14 Indian Railways registered revenues of Rs 1.4 lakh crore, of which Rs 94,000 crore came from freight and Rs 37,500 crore from passenger tickets, which is subsidised. The loss per passenger kilometre is 23 paise as of March 2014. Partly because of this, the national transporter is always cash-strapped. In the latest year, it reported a loss of Rs 30,000 crore in the passenger segment. Operating ratios stood at a pathetic 94 percent, which means the Railways spend 94 paise to earn one rupee. Thus, no surprise that it was left with a meagre surplus of Rs 690 crore (latest year). In the past 10 years, 99 new line projects worth Rs 60,000 crore were sanctioned out of which only one project is completed till date. In fact, there are 4 projects that are as old as 30 years, but are yet to be completed. In the last 30 years, as many as 676 projects were sanctioned worth Rs 1.5 lakh crore. Of which, only 317 projects could be completed the balance 359 projects will now require as much as Rs 1.8 lakh crore. Last year the arrest of a railway board member after he was caught bribing the minister's nephew just so that he could get a lucrative post as member in charge of giving out railway electricity contracts epitomised the corruption in the system, little has changed since.Railway is not making loss. I think Railways started making profits since Lalu yadav was the Rail Minister.
Operating ratio means that out of every 100 rupees in revenue.. Indian railways spends 90 Rupees to run the system... that leaves only 10 rupees to fund infrastructure and expansion.. so every year Indian railways falls short of funds... and makes huge loss:
It means the costs(minus debt payments) made by the railway as % of revenue.

Thanks for letting me know what an insecure person you are.

aur agar hum usko criticize kare toh apni puri fauj bulha leta hai humari encounter karwane
But overall the railways are in surplus. As regards to funding the infrastructure they can always raise funds and dont have to wait for accumulation of surplus. Since the passenger segment is making losses what the budget has done to minimise this? Its again the usual cross subsidization by increasing the freight. The rail minister should have been bold to increase the passenger fares. Increase in freight increases the corruption in the railways.
The drop in diesel is a huge relief that they are not advertising.
