Gross traffic receipts of the Railways went up from Rs. 798618.500 Millions in 2008-09 to Rs. 869639.700 Millions in 2009-10. Total working expenses increased from Rs. 718393.000 Millions in 2008-09 to Rs. 829153.500 Millions in 2009-10. After taking into account the miscellaneous transactions, the net revenue receipts were at Rs. 55440.900 Millions.

 

After meeting the dividend liability, the year ended with an excess of Rs. 7.500 Millions, which was appropriated to Development Fund.

 

REVENUE:

 

The gross traffic receipts went up by 771021.200 Millions (8.89%) over the previous year. The break-up in terms of major sources is given in Statement IA of Financial Statements. Passenger earnings formed 26.92% of the gross earnings, of which 7.13% was from suburban services,  5.71% from express long distance and 17.16% from ordinary short distance traffic. Bulk freight like coal, ores, iron and steel, cement, foodgrains, fertilisers, POL products, limestone, dolomite, stones other than marble, salt and sugar contributed 88.8% of the total goods

 

WORKING EXPENSES

 

 

The total working expenses during 2009-10 were 7829153.500 Millions - an increase of 7110760.500 Millions over 2008-09. The increase was due to:

 

(i) increase in staff cost;

 

(ii) higher cost of fuel and other inputs; and

 

(iii) incremental expenditure for moving traffic.

 

 

Total wage bill of staff (open line) in 2009-10 (excluding pensionary benefits) totalled 4369600.200 Millions or 56.16% of ordinary working expenses (excluding appropriation to DRF and Pension Fund), while fuel accounted for 22.12%, and other materials and services 21.72%. Number of open line staff decreased by 1.83%.

 

DEFERRED DIVIDEND LIABILITY

 

In keeping with the recommendations of the Railway Convention Committee (1977), it was decided that the shortfall in the payment of current dividend in those years in which net revenue was not adequate to meet the liability for current dividend, would be treated as Deferred Dividend Liability bearing no interest.

 

The Deferred Dividend Liability from 1978-79 onwards aggregated to 73419.900 Millions by the end of March 1992, which was, however, liquidated in 1992-93.

 

The Deferred Dividend Liability for the years 2000-01 and 2001-02 to the tune of 72,8233 Millions has become nil after payment of Deferred Dividend Liability of 76640 Millions during 2007-08.

 

ON NEW LINES

 

The Railway Convention Committee allows a moratorium on payment of dividend on investments in new lines during the period of construction and for the first 5 years after it is opened to traffic; cumulative dividend is payable when the line shows surplus after meeting current dividend liability. The account of accumulated dividend liability, if any, is closed after 20 years, extinguishing such unliquidated liability. The amount of this liability stood at 775117.900 Millions as on March 31, 2010.

 

CAPITAL – AT – CHARGE

 

The Capital-at-charge, mainly comprising Tracks and Bridges (7394514.700 Millions), Rolling Stock (7156351.300 Millions), Buildings and Structures including Land (7148177.600 Millions) and Machinery and Plant (7124118.800 Millions), invested in the Railways by the Central Government stood at 7876546.400 Millions at the end of 2009-10 - an accretion of 7154166.900 Millions over the previous year.

During 2009-10, the total Plan investment was 7374354.900 Millions (excluding MTPs and Circular Railways and amount transferred to SRSF). This was financed from Budgetary Support to the extent of 7154164.900 Millions exclusive of capital invested on MTPs and Circular Railways amounting to 76148.100 Millions and 78795.500 Millions invested on Dividend free project of Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramula. The corresponding position during 2008-09 was that out of a total Plan investment of 7277634.500 Millions (excluding MTPs and Circular Railways and amount transferred to SRSF), the financing from Budgetary Support was 782571.400 Millions exclusive of capital invested on MTPs and Circular Railways amounting to 76768.500 Millions and 76113.600 Millions invested on Dividend free project of Udhampur- Srinagar-Baramula. The balance of the Plan investment was met from internal and extra-budgetary resources. During 2009-10, a decrease of the fund balance was also resorted to the tune of 7106228.300 Millions to finance the Plan expenditure.

 

FINANCIAL ARRANGEMENT BETWEEN THE RAILWAYS AND THE GOVERNMENT

 

On the recommendations of the Acworth Committee, the Railway Finances were separated from the General Finances in 1924-25. Since then, the financial arrangements between the Railways and the Central Government are periodically reviewed by a Parliamentary Committee known as the Railway Convention Committee.

 

With the formation of the Fifteenth Lok Sabha, a new Railway Convention Committee (2009) was constituted in March 2010. The Committee has so far submitted their first report on 'Rate of Dividend for 2009-10 and 2010-11 and other ancillary matters'.

 

'Indian Railway Finance Corporation Ltd. (IRFC)', Public Sector Undertaking under the administrative control of the Ministry of Railways has been raising additional resources through borrowings from domestic and international markets to finance Plan investment. Market funds raised by the Corporation are mainly used to finance procurement of rolling stock assets which are leased by IRFC to IR. Till end of 2009-10, IRFC has lease financed 2,572 electric and 2,488 diesel locomotives, 1,39,659 wagons, 32,115 coaches, 81 track machines and 4 cranes, with a gross asset value of 7601250 Millions. Induction of these rolling stock into the system has enabled IR to modernize its fleet, increase carrying capacity and improve productivity. The lease charges of 753672.400 Millions were paid to IRFC during 2009-10 to enable the corporation to service the debt.

 

IRFC has also been providing market funds to finance bankable railway projects under implementation by Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL). The amount of funds made available to RVNL till end of 2009-10 is 718710 Millions.

 

FREIGHT OPERATION

 

In 2009-10, IR loaded 892.22 million tonnes of freight traffic of which 887.79 million tonnes was revenue-earning an( 4.43 million tonnes non-revenue-earning, and achieved total ne tonne kilometres (NTKMs) of 601 billion as against 552 billior in 2008-09. The freight earnings went up from 3517493 Millions in 2008-09 to 5569115.100 Millions in 2009-10, registering ; growth of 9.98%.

 

FREIGHT MARKETING

 

PRIVATE FREIGHT TERMINALS (PFT)

 

To facilitate rapid development of a network of freight terminals with private investment to provide efficient and cost effective logistics services with warehousing solution to end users, a new scheme namely Private Freight Terminal has been launched on 31.05.2010. PFT can either be 'green field' facilities developed by private parties on private land or 'brown field' facilities, i.e. exisiting private sidings/container terminals on private land which can be permitted to be converted to private freight terminals under the provisions of the Scheme. The scheme will facilitate traffic handling at the terminals by private investors thereby increasing IR's market

share.

 

SPECIAL FREIGHT TRAIN OPERATOR SCHEME (SFTO)

 

In order to increase Rail share in the commodities like fertilizers, molasses, edible oil, caustic soda, chemicals, petrochemicals, alumina, bulk cement and fly ash, etc., where rail coefficient is traditionally very low, a new scheme namely Special Freight Train Operator Scheme (SFTO) has been launched to attract private investment in special purpose wagons required for transportation of these commodities. The policy has been issued on 31.05.2010.

 

AUTOMOBILE FREIGHT TRAIN OPERATER SCHEME (AFTO)

 

With a view to increase IR's market share in transportation of automobile i.e. twolthree wheelers, cars and tractors, etc. by inviting private participation for procurement and operation of special purpose wagons, a new scheme namely Automobile Freight Train Operater Scheme (AFTO) has been launched. The policy has been issued on 19.07.2010.

 

 

DEVELOPMENT OF AUTOMOBILE AND ANCILLARY HUB

 

With the introduction of AFTO scheme, more number of rakes comprising high capacity auto carriers having higher throughput will be inducted by private operators. This will increase IR's modal share in automobiles traffic warranting development of more automobile and ancillary hubs. With a view to facilitate bulk movement of automobile traffic by rail from the production hubs to consumption centers, a policy has been issued on 16.06.2010 for development of automobile and ancillary hub at strategic locations for storage and secondary distribution by road.

 

CLAIMS

IR paid 7139.900 Millions as claim compensation in the year 2009-10 as compared to 964 Millions paid in previous year 2008-09. The number of claims received by Railways was 0.28 lakh in 2007-08, 0.26 lakh in 2008-09 and 0.21 lakh in 2009-10.

Evolution:

 

The first railway on Indian sub-continent ran over a stretch of 21 miles from Bombay to Thane. The idea of a railway to connect Bombay with Thane, Kalyan and with the Thal and Bhore Ghats inclines first occurred to Mr. George Clark, the Chief Engineer of the Bombay Government, during a visit to Bhandup in 1843.

The formal inauguration ceremony was performed on 16th April 1853, when 14 railway carriages carrying about 400 guests left Bori Bunder at 3.30 pm "amidst the loud applause of a vast multitude and to the salute of 21 guns." The first passenger train steamed out of Howrah station destined for Hooghly, a distance of 24 miles, on 15th August, 1854. Thus the first section of the East Indian Railway was opened to public traffic, inaugurating the beginning of railway transport on the Eastern side of the sub-continent.


In south the first line was opened on 1st July, 1856 by the Madras Railway Company. It ran between Vyasarpadi Jeeva Nilayam (Veyasarpandy) and Walajah Road (Arcot), a distance of 63 miles. In the North a length of 119 miles of line was laid from Allahabad to Kanpur on 3rd March 1859. The first section from Hathras Road to Mathura Cantonment was opened to traffic on 19th October, 1875.


These were the small beginnings which is due course developed into a network of railway lines all over the country. By 1880 the Indian Railway system had a route mileage of about 9000 miles. Subject, the premier transport organization of the country is the largest rail network in Asia and the world's second largest under one management.

Territorial Readjustment of Zones and In-House Reforms

 

In order to bring about greater efficiency in administration, speedy implementation of on-going projects, better customer care, reduction of workload on General Managers etc., Indian Railways have decided to create seven new zones by territorial re-adjustment of existing zones. The new zones, having limited financial burden on Railways, will have thin and lean, efficient and modern administrative set up. Two of the new zones have already started functioning.

 

National Rail Vikas Yojana

With a view to complete strategically important projects within a stipulated period of time, a non-budgetary investment initiative for the development of Railways has been launched. Under the scheme all the capacity bottlenecks in the critical sections of the railway network will be removed at an investment of Rs.150,000.000 Millions over the next five years. These projects would include:

 

  1. Strengthening of the golden Quadrilateral to run more long-distance mail/express and freight trains at a higher speed of 100 kmph.
  2. Strengthening of rail connectivity to ports and development of multi-modal corridors to hinterland.
  3. Construction of four mega bridges - two over River Ganga, one over River Brahmaputra, and one over River Kosi.
  4. Accelerated completion of those projects nearing completion and other important projects.

 

New Steps towards Safety and Security :

 

Safety of 13 million passengers that Indian Railways serve every day is of paramount importance to the system. Over the years, apart from the regular safety norms followed, the network has taken a number of steps through innovative use of technology and stepped up training to its manpower to enhance safety standards. Constitution of Rs.170000.000 Millions non-lapsable Special Railway Safety Fund (SRSF) to replace the arrears of aging assets of Railways over the next six years has been a historical move in this direction. A number of distressed bridges, old tracks, signalling system and other safety enhancement devices will be replaced during this period. As far as budget allocation for safety is concerned, Rs.14000.000 Millions was allocated in the revised estimate for the year 2001-02 and Rs.22100.000 Millions for the year 2002-2003. Extensive field trials of the Anti-Collision Device (ACD), indigenously developed by Konkan Railway, is going on and once deployed across the Zonal Railways, this innovative technology will help railways reduce accidents due to collision between trains.


Security of railway passengers is at present a shared responsibility of the Railway Protection Force (RPF) and the Government Reserve Police (GRP). Efforts are on to amend the Railway Act to give more powers to the RPF in ensuring security of passengers on trains and within Railway premises. Deployment of women police Force has been made for security and assistance of women passengers.

 

Improving Financial Health:

 

The financial position of Indian Railways has been slowly but steadily improving. Some of the highlights of the financial performance during 2001-02 include: improved operating ratio from 98.8 per cent to 96.6 per cent, savings in ordinary working expenses of Rs.14870.000 Millions, Depreciation Reserve Fund (DRF) balance goes up from Rs. 780.400 Millions during March last year to Rs.6329.900 Millions during same time this year. Railways have established a new milestone in incremental freight loading during July this year by carrying 5.70 million tonnes of goods. Freight loading for the last financial year crossed the target and attained 492.31 million tonnes.

 

New Trends in Passenger Amenities:

To take care of the unreserved segment of the passengers, a new pilot project on computer based unreserved ticketing has been launched this year. Of the 13 million passengers served by the network everyday, nearly 12 million are unreserved passengers. To cater to this huge segment, computer based ticketing systems has been launched for all stations in Delhi area and in due course throughout the country. With this, unreserved tickets can be issued even from locations other than the boarding station and will reduce crowds at booking offices and stations.

 

Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation

 

With the assistance of Centre for Railway Information Systems has launched On-line ticketing facility which can be accessed through website irctc.co.in. Computerized reservation facilities were added at 245 new locations. At present these facilities are available at 758 locations in the country covering about 96 per cent of the total workload of passenger reservation. Computerized Reservation related enquiries about accommodation availability, passenger status, train schedule, train between pair of stations etc. have been made web enabled.

A pilot project for issuing monthly and quarterly season tickets through Automated Teller Machines (ATMs) has been launched in Mumbai this year and has been found very successful. Another pilot project for purchasing tickets including monthly and quarterly season tickets through Smart Card has also been launched.

"National Train Enquiry System" has been started in order to provide upgraded passenger information and enquiries. This system provides the train running position on a current basis through various output devices such as terminals in the station enquiries and Interactive Voice Response System (IVRS) at important railway stations. So far the project has been implemented at 98 stations.

 

 

Freight Operations Information System (FOIS) Computerisation of freight operations by Railways has been achieved by implementing Rake Management System (RMS). Such FOIS terminals are available at 235 locations

Railways have established their own intra-net 'Railnet' It provides networking between Railway Board, Zonal Headquarters, Divisional headquarters, Production Units, Training Centers etc.

 

Sterling Performance by PSUs The public sector undertakings of the Railways, especially IRCON and RITES, scored commendable achievements during the last three years. IRCON International has achieved a record turnover of Rs.9000.000 Millions during 2001-02 and the foreign exchange earnings of this prestigious organization has increased six fold over the years. At the international level, IRCON is at present executing different projects in Malaysia, Bangladesh and Indonesia. The PSU has registered a strong presence in the international scenario by its sterling track record.

 

RITES, another prestigious PSU under the Ministry has scaled new heights in performance, profit and dividend to the shareholders during the last three years. Its turn over increased from Rs.172.000 Millions in 1999 to Rs.2830.000 Millions in 2002. RITES for its sterling performance secured the prestigious ISO-9001 Certification this year. The company has also entered into export/leasing of locomotives in different countries in Asia and Africa. RITES is operating all over the world including Columbia, UK, Iran, Malayasia, Myanmar, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan.

 

 

Indian Railways Finance Corporation Limited secured excellent rating for fourth year in succession by the Department of Public enterprises on the basis of the performance targets. Besides, Standards and Poor's, the international credit rating agency, also reaffirmed the sovereign ratings to IRFC. The Corporation has been making profits and paying dividends.

 

Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) Internet based ticket booking has been launched by IRCTC in Delhi, Chennai, Bangalore, Mumbai and Calcutta this year. Hygienic and air-conditioned food plazas having consumer-friendly ambience opened at Pune and Chennai and license for similar plazas awarded for 17 more locations.

More than half a lakh tourists have availed the value added tour package programme launched by the Corporation this year.

 

Innovative Technologies by Kokan Railway:

 

Konkan Railway Corporation (KRC), the technological marvel of Indian Railways, has invented quite a few new technologies. Anti Collision Device (ACD), state-of-art indigenous technology of KRC is currently under-going intensive field trials and is capable of avoiding collision between trains. Sky bus metro is another innovative, economic and eco-friendly mass rapid transportation solution devised by Konkan Railway. Self Stablising Track (SST) devised by KRC, which is undergoing trials at present, will help Railways run the fastest train in the near future and will make tracks much more safe and sustainable.

 

Private Sector Participation:

 

The participation of both private and public sectors in developing rail infrastructure has gone up. A joint venture company was formed with Pipava Port authorities to provide broad gauge connectivity to Pipava Port. MoUs have been signed between Ministry of Railways and the State governments of Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, West Bengal, Tamil Nadu and Jharkhand in developing rail infrastructure in these States.

 

Telecommunication - New Trends:

To give improved telecommunication systems on Railways, Optical Fibre based communication systems has been adopted and laying OFC has increased to 7,700 route kilometer this year. Rail Tel Corporation has been created to make a nationwide broadband multimedia network by laying optical fibre cable along the railway tracks. This system will provide better operational and passenger amenities and additional revenue to Railways.

 

New Technologies:

 

India became the first developing country and the 5th country in the world to roll out the first indigenously built "state-of-the-art" high horse power three phase electric locomotive when the first such loco was flagged off from Chittranjan Locomotive Works (CLW). CLW has been achieving progressive indigenisation and the cost of locomotives has come down to the level of Rs.136.500 Millions.


Diesel Locomotives Works, Varanasi has produced state-of-the-art 4000 HP AC/AC diesel locomotive in April this year. These locos are capable of hauling 4,800 tonne freight trains at a speed of 100 KMPH and can run continuously up to 90 days in one stretch without any major maintenance.

 

Honours and Awards

 

Indian Railways achieved a number of recognitions and awards in sports, tourism sector and for excellence in operational matters. In the Common Wealth Games in Manchester, the Indian teams record performance has been mainly due to Railway team's excellence in sports.

Press Release:

 

International Level Crossing Awareness Day on 9th June 2011
Railways Carry Intensive Awareness Campaign to Educate Road Users

 

Every year, International Union of Railways (UIC) observes one day as the International Level Crossing Awareness Day (ILCAD). This year, 9th June is being observed as ILCAD. Indian Railways has decided to participate ink this global campaign to sensitize road users to increase safety at unmanned level crossings. The ILCAD focuses on educational measures and the promotion of safe behaviour at and around level crossings. It is built on existing national events which will be held jointly at various locations in every participating country on June 9th, 2011.


The number of unmanned level crossing accidents occurring on Indian Railways is a cause of concern. At present, there are total 32694 numbers of level crossings over Indian Railways out of which 14853 are unmanned where the accidents occur primarily due to inadequate precautions by the road users failing to observe mandatory sign boards, signals and basic traffic safety rules. Over the last five years, the train accidents at unmanned level crossings remained at low level.


Indian Railways carry out intensive social awareness campaigns, on a regular basis, to educate road users. This includes publicity campaigns through various media like newspapers, TV, Radio etc., distribution of posters, leaflets, various short duration films/advertisements etc. Even in local languages have been prepared by the Zonal Railways for educating the road users about the precautions to be taken while negotiating the unmanned level crossings. There is a need to educate people at Village Panchayats, schools, weekly markets in rural areas and also carry out ambush checks at unmanned level crossings.

 

To enhance the safety and reduce inconvenience to road users, busy level crossings are being replaced by Road over Bridges (ROB)/ Road Under Bridges (RUB) and Limited Height Sub Ways (LHS) gradually. In the year 2010- 11, 641 ROB/RUB/LHS have been constructed under various schemes.
