धनबाद से खुलने वाली 4 जोड़ी ट्रेनों को घाटा सहकर चला रही रेलवे, न यात्री और न आय

The Indian Railways is running four pairs of passenger trains from Dhanbad that are consistently incurring losses. These include the DC passenger and three passenger trains operating between Dhanbad and Sindri. The DC passenger train runs with 5 general coaches, with one coach having 100 seats.

ticket sales for this train is only ₹1100. The three passenger trains between Dhanbad and Sindri have an average occupancy of 88 passengers per train, resulting in ticket sales that represent less than 1% of the operational cost. The exact cost of operating a train per kilometer is not available, but includes expenses for electricity or fuel, salaries for the train crew, station staff, signal maintainers, and point men. While ticket fares for sleeper and general classes in passenger trains are low, fares for higher AC classes are much higher. This higher fare subsidizes the lower fares and overall passenger train operations are subsidized by freight transportation, which is the main source of revenue for the Indian Railways.

sales se railways ko ₹1100 ka revenue milta hai. Dhanbad se Sindri ke beech chalne wali teen passenger trains mein har ek mein average 88 passengers chalte hain. In trains se ticket sales se jo revenue aata hai woh train operate karne ke kharch ka 1% se bhi kam hota hai. Kisi train ko operate karne mein kitna kharch aata hai iska accurate data railway ke paas nahi hai, lekin isme electricity ya fuel, train crew ka salary, station staff, signal maintainers, aur point men ka salary shamil hai. Passenger trains mein sleeper aur general class ka fare kam hota hai, lekin AC classes ka fare zyada hota hai. Yeh zyada fare sleeper aur general class ke fare ko subsidy deta hai aur overall passenger train operation ko freight transportation se subsidy di jati hai, jo Indian Railways ka main source of revenue hai.
