It won't come on budget, right now they have to tell that with budget. Losses of the company will be on the books of the company. One day you can privatize the whole thing, but corporatization without an intention to privatize just hides the rot.

Both aren't binary, Abhi toh nahi ho saketa. Look I look at it from one simple point of view, this is a huge loss-making entity, and if we corporatize it, the government revenue will not show this loss. The way this is set up there is no way that the corporation will also make a profit. Even...

Russia wala ho jayga? I thought there were issues with that contract.

Eventually, yes, but first you need private players in the game. Pehle kitne the? I don't think I heard a single private player before this government. There was zero interest in the PPP model for EDFC so construction is still out of the question. There is a long way before privatization or...

Once this station privatization begins exactly this will happen, but look, first they tried outright selling stations there was zero interest. Privatization is not always straightforward, you need the right model first...

Abhi aur kya ho raha hai, the government takes on the losses on its books. Tax payers subsidize it.

I think so.

Toh our kya keh raha hoon, they are slowly selling off coach factories and privatizing stations, etc. You can't corporatize the whole railway though. Large losses.

Marzi teri, mat kar. Mein kaunsa railway minster hoon? :P

Idealism and realism are very different, the railway world over is mostly public, and private railways are very rare. It's like building private roads. In the end, infrastructure has to be built using public money.

most station and train cleaning is on contract, ticketing is corporatized, and so is food and cleaning. Some coach factories are operated by private companies. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Indian_locomotive_class_WAG-12 Alstom builds this bad boy in Electric Locomotive Factory, madhepur which...

Bhai railways ka size dekh, if we corporatize it, all the loss will be hidden on the books till one day till blows up in our face in Air India. And we won't find a buyer for it. First, let our median incomes rise then let's talk about this.

All of this is corporatized and privatized.

Bhai, no buyer will run trains with ticket prices as they are now. India is still a poor country, but eventually one day perhaps.

remember you can privatize a lot of PSUs but there will be no buyers for the railway.

With too much debt, a corporatized railway will become the mother of all PSU leaches. At least right now the losses are on the books of the exchequer forcing improvements in operating ratios. PS: also a lot of railway "departments" have already been corporatized like IRCON.

Bad idea!!

If talgo is used for all trains that would have been awesome, but I think we would also need to make modern version of our regular coaches that are much lighter and can turn on corners, ones that can carry work like sleeper coaches.
