Concerns in tenth plan
Neglect of piecemeal traffic
Poor penetration of containerization
Line and terminal capacities
Mechanization of freight terminals
Security concerns
Poor project implementation
Asset reliability

17
Challenges in eleventh plan
Double its transport capacity
Reduce unit costs of operations
Improve service levels
To achieve this concentrate on
Investments—strategic capacity expansion
Core business of providing logistic solutions to
freight and passenger customers
Institutionalize market responsive pricing and
planning policies
Provide cost efficient door to door and
customized services

Outlook –eleventh plan
Transport elasticity –0.6-0.75% of
GDP; growing economies >1
GDP growth –9-10%
Growing
Sectors, power, steel, cement
International trade
Manufacturing sector
Globalization of economy

Objectives –eleventh plan
Create adequate capacity to cater to
Long term growth
Medium term growth
Provide improved services
Railways- Capacity expansion will give
benefit in 12th plan so
Capacity enhancement through quick yielding
investments
Utilize capacity enhancements in rolling stock

Thrust areas
Freight
Break bulk
Rationalize freight structure
Non break bulk
Build Logistics parks, container terminals, freight
terminals
Passenger
Increase speeds—commercial
High speed intercity corridors
Capacity augmentation of trains
Use of IT for improved services
Technology up gradation

Fixed infrastructure--technology
Track
Upgrade of iron ore route and feeder routes of Dedicated
Freight Corridor to 25 tonne axle load.
Complete switch over to mechanized maintenance of
track by investing in track machines.
Zero arrear of track renewal at the end of Eleventh FYP.
Reduction in permanent and temporary speed
restrictions.
Use of stronger track structure with 60 kg, 90Kg/mm2
UTS rail.
Zero deficiency of ballast and elimination of wooden
sleepers.
Greater use of technology.

Technology up gradation --Wagons
Instead of sticking to RDSO design alone, wagon
manufacturers will be permitted to bring worldclass wagon technology after evaluation and
testing by RDSO.
Universal switch over to freight wagons of 22.9
tonne axle load and selective introduction of 25
tonne axle load wagons on iron ore route and
feeder routes of DFC.
Retrofit of existing casnub bogie to upgrade it to
25 tonne will be examined.
Possibility of introducing 3 axle wagons on existing
network to increase its payload without increasing
axle load will be considered.
7/16/2015
42
Technology up-gradation --wagons
Switch over to lighter and corrosion resistant
material like stainless steel, aluminum etc. for
improving payload to tare ratio and reduction in
requirement of body repairs.
Introduction of lower diameter wheels and bogie
mounted brake system to increase loadable
volume of the freight wagons within a given
schedule of dimension.
Introduction of special purpose wagons for
transportation of automobiles, bulk movement
wagons for fly ash, cement, food grains,
hazardous chemicals and other customized
wagons.

Issues with approach paper
Why are financial targets for revenues
not highlighted?
Marginal increase in revenue per
million tonnes handled proposed,
why?
Are we capable of spending the
money?
Can we commercialize technology
innovations within the plan?

Issues with approach paper
Pricing is critical– how do we reconcile our
costing systems?
Why is man power exploitation not a key
area?
Are we in business of infrastructure
provision or service provision or both?
Why are we not involved in bharat nirman?
Training investment for new centres. what
skills or areas to be covered?
