The study of revenue vs expense of running of premium trains for 10 months
1. Vande Bharat 75cr 31cr
2. Benguluru Raj 68cr 143cr ( is this the revenue generated by boarding of travelkers from Bhopal to New Delhi?)
3. SHATABDI 35cr 43cr.

Operational Cost of VB mentioned here is way more, double of Shatabdi Express, which I think is little misdirected as Shatabdi uses Diesel in both EOGs even if it runs on HOG. VB also uses regenerative breaking system, automatic doors, better aerodynamics how can just because it is multiple unit train set it operating cost shot double than that of Shatabdi, whereas as far as Train Sets are considered they are supposed to be more energy efficient thus less costly in operation.
And if the operating cost of VB mentioned here is...

Rajdhani has a quota of 75 berths and the income will be 4cr even if another 75 book in tatkal or board due to more deboarding then rhe quota the income will not cross 10cr. It may be revenue for total run. For premium trains they need to exclude catering charge for revenue calculation.
Comparison of the two decades old Satabdhi btw Ndls and Bhopal, Four decade old Bengaluru Rajdhani with one year old VB (NDLS - Bhopal I presume), and comparing economics is too premature. The operational cost of VB is double of Satabdhi, which is incorrect. Again, rajdhani express is more revenue generating as it's a long distance train. Benefits from VBs are (1) Around 102 VB services added 1 lakh AC seats for Indian travellers. (2) Instead of travelling overnight, one can return by night or reach by afternoon, this saves hotel stay for biz travellers (3) VB trains on an average occupancy of even at 70 percent will be a good start. (4) We are used to travel with waiting lists, booking 3 months before train travel, etc and VB gives an option to book with confirmation now for next day travel in most sectors (5) Suppose another 150 VB...

I doubt on the data representing operational cost of VB . Yes , VB 1.0 was tagged as less energy efficient and technology was immediately replaced in the version 2.0.
Train sets are considered more energy efficient and are becoming norm of the rail travel around the world.
Also , IR would have priced ticket according to the energy consumption of the train set .. but VB costs only 20% more than the Shatabdi !
