While the pace of infrastructure creation has been at an all-time high, new and innovative ways to improve operational efficiency and passenger experience are also being focused upon. From introduction of high speed trains to modernisation of railway stations, the sector has been abuzz with activity. IR has been taking various initiatives to upgrade its rolling stock and improve the passenger experience. IR is also taking initiatives to increase the average speed of trains. Currently, all LHB coaches can run at a maximum speed of 130 kmph. Some of the initiatives by IR in this area include introduction of Vande Bharat Trains, Tejas Express Trains, Anubhuti Coaches, Double Decker Train Coaches and Humsafar Trains. IR has also increased its focus on digitalisation of operations to improve efficiency and enhance passenger convenience. The initiatives include installation of point of sale (POS) machines and acceptance of UPI/Bharat interface for money, launching Rail Madad app for providing assistance and information to passengers, and establishing an online dashboard, e-Drishti to review, monitor and analyse IR's performance. IR has also been exploring new funding and revenue sources. These include FDI equity inflows, multi-lateral funding, issuing IPOs and non-fare revenue initiatives. The Ministry of Railways is looking at use of PPPs to unleash faster development and completion of tracks, rolling-stock manufacturing and delivery of passenger and freight services. The national transporter has also identified the potential areas for private sector participation in the sector. Big-ticket plans: IR plans to move to 100% electrification in next 3.5 years and become 100% net zero' operator in next 9-10 years; the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor and Eastern Dedicated Freight Corridor are expected to be completed by June 2022; IR has planned to source around 1,000-MW solar power and 200 MW of wind power by 2021-22 across zonal railways and production units; the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High Speed Rail corridor is expected to be completed by December 2023; the priority section of the Delhi-Meerut RRTS Corridor (Sahibabad to Duhai) is scheduled to be completed by March 2023; six projects under Mumbai Urban Transport Projects (MUTP) 3 to be completed by 2022; 12 projects under MUTP 3A to be completed by 2024; and four corridors of the project are expected to become operational by 2026. In terms of network expansion, IR registered a four times increase in commissioning of doubling works during the 2014-20 period (1,458 km/year) as compared to the 2009-2014 period (375 km/year). The outbreak of Covid-19 pandemic has had a significant impact on the railway sector. IR, which operated over 13,500 trains daily carrying around 23 million passengers, halted all its passenger services on March 22, 2020 to control the spread of Covid-19. However, the sector has responded to the pandemic by turning to the freight segment to combat the losses incurred in the passenger segment and reducing wasteful expenditure through measures such as rationalisation of manpower at workshops, closure of uneconomic rail lines and greater emphasis on digitalisation. India Infrastructure Research has analysed a total of 262 projects for the analysis of upcoming projects. These projects entail an investment of Rs 5.12 trillion and are expected to create a capacity of over 21,000 km. As per National Infrastructure Pipeline, investments worth Rs 13.67 trillion are to be made in the railways sector during the period from 2019-20 to 2024-25 to improve freight efficiency, augment the speed of trains, improve passenger amenities, enhancing safety and ensuring better connectivity. Going forward, the outlook of the sector remains positive on the back of the big-ticket projects being implemented. Further, IR's Make in India initiatives are also likely to gain further traction with government's focus on self-reliance.

  • Output Outcome Framework for Schemes 2018-2019 Demand No
    PREFACE Major Expenditure Reforms have been undertaken by the Government over the last two-three years. This not only includes simplification of appraisal and approval processes, but also structural changes in the process of budget making itself like doing away with Plan Non-plan distinction. As a result,the cost-centres are being treated in an integrated manner, within only the statutory revenue capital framework. This enables another major structural reform, which is to bring the public schemes and projects under a monitorable Output-Outcome framework. Since 2017-18, in addition to the financial outlays of schemes of the Ministries being indicated in the Budget document, the expected outputs and outcomes of the schemes were also prepared and presented separately by each Ministry in the form of Outcome Budget. T h e s e Outlays, Outputs and Outcomes are being presented to the Parliament in measurable terms, bringing-in greater accountability for the agencies involved in the execution of government schemes and projects. utlay is the amount that is provided for a given scheme or project in the Budget; while Outpu refers to the direct and measurable product of program activities, often expressed in physical terms or units. utcome are the collective results or qualitative improvements brought about in the delivery of these services, often expressed in terms of improvements over ex-ante or earlier indicators and benchmarks. From the last year s budget, it was decided that the output and outcomes of the schemes of 68 Ministries and Departments would be available along with the financial outlays as a part of the Budget documents, so that clearly defined objectives and goals for each scheme can be seen by all.

  • Bilevel Rail Car - Wikipedia
    Bilevel rail car - Wikipedia https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bilevel_rail_car Bilevel rail car The bilevel car (American English) or double-decker train (British English and Canadian English) is a type of rail car that has two levels of passenger accommodation, as opposed to one, increasing passenger capacity (in example cases of up to 57% per car).[1] In some countries such vehicles are commonly referred to as dostos, derived from the German Doppelstockwagen. The use of double-decker carriages, where feasible, can resolve capacity problems on a railway, avoiding other options which have an associated infrastructure cost such as longer trains (which require longer station Double-deck rail car operated by Agence métropolitaine de transport platforms), more trains per hour (which the signalling or safety in Montreal, Quebec, Canada. The requirements may not allow) or adding extra tracks besides the existing Lucien-L'Allier station is in the back line. ground. Bilevel trains are claimed to be more energy efficient,[2] and may have a lower operating cost per passenger.[3] A bilevel car may carry about twice as many as a normal car, without requiring double the weight to pull or material to build. However, a bilevel train may take longer to exchange passengers at each station, since more people will enter and exit from each car. The increased dwell time makes them most popular on long-distance routes which make fewer stops (and may be popular with passengers for offering a better view).[1] Bilevel cars may not be usable in countries or older railway systems with Bombardier double-deck rail cars in low loading gauges.
