Massive scale. Daily operations. Crores of passengers. But where does all the money go?
Welcome to this deep-dive case study on Indian Railways, the 4th largest railway network in the world, and truly the lifeline of India.
With over 68,000 km of tracks, 25,000+ trains daily, and carrying 2 crore+ passengers every single day, the Indian Railways is not just a transport system, it's a nation in motion. It also ranks as India’s second-largest employer, with 14 lakh+ employees.
But despite its scale, reach, and historical legacy, the Railways runs at a loss year after year.
Why? Where does all the money go? And how is Indian Railways finally becoming profitable in 2025?
In this video, we explore:
1) Why the British built Indian Railways and how it evolved post-independence?
2) A look at how partition affected the Railways?
3) The real financial story behind the Indian Railways business model?
4) Why your ticket fare isn’t enough to run the system?
5) How Indian Railways earns through freight, advertising, tourism, and land monetization?
6) My personal recommendations to make Indian Railways more profitable and people-friendly?
We’ll also touch on the investments on track projects like Chenab Railway Bridge, the world’s highest rail bridge, and what it represents for Indian engineering and connectivity in Kashmir.
Plus, how India is adopting various protection systems like Kavach, India’s advanced train protection system that prevents collisions and improves passenger safety.
And of course, we’ll talk about the Vande Bharat Express, India’s fastest train, and what it means for the future of high-speed rail travel in India.
With Indian Railways finally turning profitable, do you think it should now focus more on improving passenger experience or expanding its revenue streams even further?
