IS THIS WHAT INDIA NEEDS?! I don't like political discussions, but the artificial idea of trying to showcase India as a "developed country" when >75% live on one meal a day is a little bit too much. This time..the PM is visiting California later this month..to achieve what..?? Sign more "MoUs" which will never become a reality..REALITY is we need MOSTLY passenger and Janata trains to move the huge mass of suffering people at lowest cost..TAKE CARE OF POOR INDIANS FIRST..then take care of ADANI AMBANI...opening the doors to gradual privatization of IR is opening the doors to disaster for the common man!!

the new report, the committee has left the job of figuring out how to do that to the Minister of Railways under supervision of the PMO and aided by a dedicated group of officers.

The much-awaited Bibek Debroy committee report on the restructuring of Indian Railways lays down a five-year roadmap to evolve a statutory rail regulator, scrap the Rail Budget and make room for more players in an “open access” regime which turns the Railways into just another train-service provider in the country.
“Once the changes of the first five years are implemented, including the resolution of the social costs issue, the Railway Budget should be phased out,” the report says adding that the government should take the entire burden of social cost borne by Railways by way of subsidy.
Pushed by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, the high-level committee was formed in September to restructure the Railways and suggest ways for resource mobilization. After the receipt of the final report, the Railway Board is to submit a report on it to the PM by June-end.
