    INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AHMEDABAD y INDIA Research and Publications ‘Turnaround’ of Indian Railways: A Critical Appraisal of Strategies and Processes G. Raghuram W.P. No.2007-02-03 February 2007 The main objective of the working paper series of the IIMA is to help faculty members, Research Staff and Doctoral Students to speedily share their research findings with professional colleagues, and to test out their research findings at the pre-publication stage INDIAN INSTITUTE OF MANAGEMENT AHMEDABAD-380 015 INDIA W.P. No. 2007-02-03 Page No. 1 IIMA y INDIA Research and Publications ‘Turnaround’ of Indian Railways: A Critical Appraisal of Strategies and Processes Abstract Indian Railways (IR), which was declared to be heading towards bankruptcy as per the Expert Group on Indian Railways in 2001, is today the second largest profit making Public Sector Undertaking after ONGC. The fund balance crossed Rs.12,000 crores in 2005-06, which had reached a low of just Rs.149 crores in 1990-2000. The total investment being planning for the eight-year time frame (2007-2015) is tentatively in the order of Rs.350,000 crores. This confidence is not only due to the rising trend of performance, but also due to the significant growth in the past two years. These two years coincided with Mr. Lalu Prasad being at the helm of affairs of the IR, having moved into his position on 23rd May, 2004. Railway officials called this as the ‘turnaround’ of IR. This paper attempts a diagnosis of the ‘turnaround,’ beginning with the question as to whether it really was a ‘turnaround’.

  • India: Passenger Transportation
    Proceedings of the Eastern Asia Society for Transportation Studies, Vol.8, 2011 India: Inter-City Passenger Transport – Trends And Issues Raghu DAYAL Senior Fellow Asian Institute of Transport Development 13, Palam Marg, Vasant Vihar, New Delhi-110057, India Tel.: 91-11-26155309 Fax: 91-11-26156294 E-mail: [email protected] [email protected] Abstract: Primary focus of the paper remains land transport modes with a peripheral, though essential, reference to aviation. It profiles growth and development of passenger travel market in India. Along with a historical and evolutionary account of modal share underscoring the ecosystem in which the market has functioned, an imperative need for an optimal modal mix is suggested in the interest of the economy as well as environment. Pricing and cost matrix is an important element, so also the demand and supply analysis, particularly of rail services, for investment planning. Some essential features are catalogued by way of lessons learnt for an optimal modal share, which, in turn, implies judicious investments for capacity build-up and development. Keywords: Intercity transport, suburban, optimal modal split 1. INTRODUCTION Serving a land area of 3.3 million square km and a population of over one billion, India's transport system is one of the world’s largest. It consists mainly of roads, railways, and air services. In a few states, inland water transport plays a small supplementary role. And along its long 7,500 km coastline, India has 200 seaports. Since 1950-51, marking the commencement of economic planning era in the country, there has been a significant change in the modal split of passenger traffic.
