THE LOSS MAKING ERA OF INDIANRAILWAYS

Indian Railways is today on the verge of a financial

crisis. To put it bluntly, the Business As Usual Low

Growth will rapidly drive IR to fatal bankruptcy, and in

sixteen years Govt. of India will be saddled with an

additional financial liability of over Rs. 61,000 crores

(15.35 billion US $). On a pure operating level, IR is in a

terminal debt trap.
