RAILWAYS CONCERN
Not able to fix fare as per cost -
i) loss in suburban service

Not able to close uneconomic branch line-yearly loss 2500 cr
Political interference in investment decision
Not able to meet public demand for more seats in few sector&run empty trains in others
Outdated technology of locomotive
Small and inadequate rail networks.

COMMERCIAL VS SOCIAL
It can not increase fare due to adverse political impact eventhough fuel cost mounting
Railway has social obligation to run transport service for all thearea of country irrespective of profit motive. It can not closeuneconomic lines
It has to generate enough resources for efficient maintenance &replacements of assets on its own
