  1. Working paper on railways approach to eleventh plan B.V.L.Narayana SPTM/ RSC/ BRC

  2. Objectives of tenth plan • Regain lost market share • Strengthen high density network • Use technology to • IT for better customer interface • Improve safety • Improve productivity • Reduce energy bill • Mobilize additional resources • Verdict : more than achieved

  3. Reasons for performance • Freight • Increased loadability • Pricing for lean season, empty flow • Increased container traffic • Passenger • More in non suburban and AC3t • Common • Better asset utilization

  4. Initiatives –tenth plan • Initiatives • Container train operations opened for all • DFC • Liberalization of siding policy • Incentive schemes—freight, terminals • RVNL • PPP cell • for development of logistics chains • Dedicated power plants

  5. Concerns in tenth plan • Neglect of piecemeal traffic • Poor penetration of containerization • Line and terminal capacities • Mechanization of freight terminals • Security concerns • Poor project implementation • Asset reliability

  6. Challenges in eleventh plan • Double its transport capacity • Reduce unit costs of operations • Improve service levels • To achieve this concentrate on • Investments—strategic capacity expansion • Core business of providing logistic solutions to freight and passenger customers • Institutionalize market responsive pricing and planning policies • Provide cost efficient door to door and customized services

  7. Outlook –eleventh plan • Transport elasticity –0.6-0.75% of GDP; growing economies >1 • GDP growth –9-10% • Growing • Sectors, power, steel, cement • International trade • Manufacturing sector • Globalization of economy

  8. Out look –eleventh plan • More shore based and pit head power plants • Increased product pipelines • Improved road network • Higher axle load trucks • Better passenger buses • Growing airlines network

  9. Objectives –eleventh plan • Create adequate capacity to cater to • Long term growth • Medium term growth • Provide improved services • Railways- Capacity expansion will give benefit in 12th plan so • Capacity enhancement through quick yielding investments • Utilize capacity enhancements in rolling stock

  10. Thrust areas • Freight • Break bulk • Rationalize freight structure • Non break bulk • Build Logistics parks, container terminals, freight terminals • Passenger • Increase speeds—commercial • High speed intercity corridors • Capacity augmentation of trains • Use of IT for improved services • Technology up gradation

  11. Technology up gradation • Fixed infrastructure • Rolling stock • Increased axle loads • Higher capacity wagons • Longer trains • Double stack trains • Ensure associated skill development

  12. Fixed infrastructure--technology • Track • Upgrade of iron ore route and feeder routes of Dedicated Freight Corridor to 25 tonne axle load. • Complete switch over to mechanized maintenance of track by investing in track machines. • Zero arrear of track renewal at the end of Eleventh FYP. • Reduction in permanent and temporary speed restrictions. • Use of stronger track structure with 60 kg, 90Kg/mm2 UTS rail. • Zero deficiency of ballast and elimination of wooden sleepers. • Greater use of technology.

  13. Civil engineering investments

  14. Technology up gradation --Wagons • Instead of sticking to RDSO design alone, wagon manufacturers will be permitted to bring world-class wagon technology after evaluation and testing by RDSO. • Universal switch over to freight wagons of 22.9 tonne axle load and selective introduction of 25 tonne axle load wagons on iron ore route and feeder routes of DFC. • Retrofit of existing casnub bogie to upgrade it to 25 tonne will be examined. • Possibility of introducing 3 axle wagons on existing network to increase its payload without increasing axle load will be considered.

  15. Technology up-gradation --wagons • Switch over to lighter and corrosion resistant material like stainless steel, aluminum etc. for improving payload to tare ratio and reduction in requirement of body repairs. • Introduction of lower diameter wheels and bogie mounted brake system to increase loadable volume of the freight wagons within a given schedule of dimension. • Introduction of special purpose wagons for transportation of automobiles, bulk movement wagons for fly ash, cement, food grains, hazardous chemicals and other customized wagons.

  16. investments Additional funds required for new centres 3400 crores

  17. Safety features • To be introduced in eleventh plan • Collision free system • Track circuiting all station yards • Crash worthy features in coaches • Tackle safety at LCs • Capacity to detect fire and sabotage • Improve asset reliability • Phase out four wheeler units • Training of human resources
