yearly loss 2500 cr• Political interference in investment decision• Not able to meet public demand for more
seats in few sector &run empty trains in others• Need Rs50000 cr to complete on going
projects

Commercial vs Social
• Railway has social obligation to run transport service for all the area of country irrespective of profit motive. It can not close uneconomic lines
• It can not increase fare due to adverse political impact even though fuel cost mounting
• It has to generate enough resources for efficient maintenance & replacements of assets on its own
