    Goverment of India Ministry of Railways Expert Group for Modernizaion of Indian Railways Shri Dinesh Trivedi, Minister for Railways Govt of India New Delhi, Date: 25 Feb. 2012 Dear Sir, Report of the Expert Group for Modernizaion of Indian Railways We are pleased to submit the report on Modernization of Indian Railways - by the Expert Group constituted by Ministry of Railways through a notification dated 21-09-2011. Indian Railways is in urgent need for modernization and generational change to assure safety, improve productivity, take advantage of advanced technology, respond to ever increasing demand and meet inclusive growth aspirations of the country. In order to prepare a plan the Expert Group had a series of consultations with the Railway Board, domain experts, Industry leaders, Labor leaders, Planning Commission and others. We focused on a five pronged strategy related to Core assets, New revenue models, Projects, Enablers and Resource mobilization. We also focused on 15 key areas related to Tracks, Signaling, Stations and Terminals, PPP, Land, Dedicated Freight Corridors, Information and Communication Technology, Indigenous development, Safety, Funding, Human Resource and Organization. It is important to keep in mind that Safety and Modernization are two faces of the same coin. In order to make Railway safe it needs to be modernized and to modernize it is to make it not only efficient and productive but also safe. Modernization plan proposed by the Expert Group requires funding of Rs. 560,000 Crores in the next five years. Arranging funding for the entire plan is crucial even though the amount involved appears large and daunting.
