The other day I was travelling by a train.
1. There was an old man who sat in a reserved seat without ticket. The TTE came and checked and left telling the man to go to Unreserved compartment. The old man didn't move away from the seat. The person who had reserved that seat boarded the train and adjusted himself to sit along with the oldman for a long time. Again the TTE came and checked the ticket of the person who had reserved that seat.Once again the TTE told the oldman to go to Unreserved compartment. The old man didn't move away from the seat. Finally the old man got down when his town reached. Like this hundereds of them travel without ticket everyday.
2. Many passengers board the train whether it is reserved or unreserved compartment. If an extra fee of Rs. 30 is collected from these passengers the railways could make millions.
3. The catering people used to sell only water manufactured and branded as railneer. The time when I was travelling the vendors sold some other brands also. If the government gould process the plan to have more plants the profit in selling water could me more. As given in the IRCTC site.

There is huge requirement of packaged Drinking on IR. At present the two regular plants at Nangloi and Danapur are able to cater less than 5% of the demand. The third plant of 15000 cases per day or 1.6 lakh bottles per day operational at Palur( 75 kms from Chennai Central station in Tamil Nadu).This will take care of requirement of PDW in trains originating from Chennai and Banglore.

a) To meet the demand of PDW in western part of the country or say for Trains originating from Mumbai area stations, a fourth plant has been planned at Ambernath, Maharastra. This is situated near GIP lake in Additional MIDC area located about 70 kms from Mumbai Central station.
Key parameters of the proposed plant are: Area : 20,000 sq mtrs. Estimated Cost: Rs 20 cr. Installed Capacity: 17000 cases (Two lakh bottles) per day with provision to upgrade to 25000 cases(Three lakh bottles). |
b) In order to meet further demand of PDW on IR, it is proposed to setup more plants involving private organisations on PPP model. Some of the locations identified are Bhopal/Nagpur, Ahemdabad, Bhubneswar/Cuttack and Hyderabad.
|
After fructification of all these plants, IRCTC would be able to strengthen its supply logistic at all important Railway Stations, Rajdhani, Shatabadi, Duranto, Garib Rath and other Mail/Express trains across India.
|
Aim of IRCTC is to be known as No. 1 packaged drinking water bottler for supply on Railway premises.
