Section 4 Description and definition of success indicators and measurement methodology:

Freight services constitute the most important segment of activity of railway business. The earnings from freight account for more than two-thirds of the total earnings. Accordingly, the weight-age has been fixed at 15%. As visualized in the Vision 2020 Document, increase in volumes as well as increase in speed is the objective of improving the services. The success indicators identified are:

i) Originating Traffic ii) Net transportation

These are described below: 1.1.1 Operating ratio: It means number of rupees spent to earn Rs. 100. Lesser the

operating ratio, better is the financial health of the Railways.

Extracts from Finance code Volume I

434. Percentage of Working Expenses to Earnings - Operating Ratio. - A statement showing percentage of working expenses to earnings in respect of the entire system (i. e. including Working Lines) should also be submitted with the Appropriation Accounts. This statement should contain brief notes explaining the variation in the percentage for the year as compared with that for the previous year. The percentage should be worked out on the following basis.-

Total Gross Earnings. (1) as defined in item (v) of para 308.

Total Gross Working Expenses (2) as defined in item (xiii) of para 308.

Percentage = (2) x 100/(1)

(308) Glossary of terms used-Following is a glossary of the terms which the Railway Administrations should use in their estimates and other connected documents. The terminology given in the glossary should be followed uniformly by all Railway Administrations and no departure should be made therefrom under any circumstances:

GLOSSARY OF TERMS (i) Coaching Earnings (less refunds) (ii) Goods Earnings (less refunds) (iii) Traffic Earnings = (i)+(ii) (iv) Sundry Other Earnings (less refunds)=Other than Traffic Earnings. (v) Gross Earnings = (iii)+(iv) = true or accrued earnings in an accounting

period whether or not actually realised. (vi) Suspense. (vii) Gross Receipts = (v)+(vi) = Earnings actually realised during an accounting

period. (viii) Miscellaneous Receipts = Guarantee recoverable from State Governments +

Other Miscellaneous Receipts, such as Government share of surplus profits, sale of land of subsidized companies, receipts from surcharge on Passenger fares, etc.

(ix) Total Revenue Receipts = (vii)+(viii). (x) Ordinary Working Expenses = Expenses booked under final heads, excluding

appropriation to Depreciation Reserve Fund, and Pension Fund. (Payments on account of accident compensation and Pensionary Payments should also be excluded).

(xi) Appropriation to Depreciation Reserve Fund. (xii) Appropriation to Pension Fund. (xiii) Gross Working Expenses = (x)+(xi)+(xii) = True expenses in an accounting

period whether or not actually disbursed.)

1.1.2 Yield per NTKM: Yield per Net Tonne Kilometers is the average revenue earned per Net Tonne Kilometers of goods carried. 1.1.3 Yield per PKMs: Yield per Passenger Kilometers is the average revenue earned per

Passenger Kilometers. 1.1.4 Finalisation of Accounting Reforms Accounting Reforms for Indian Railways is one

of the first steps towards accrual based commercial accounting by large government entities. Implementation of Accounting Reforms will lead to implementation of recommendations for Accounting Standards of GASAB (General Accounting Standards Advisory Board) and compliance with IGAS (Indian Government Accounting Standards) and IGFRS (Indian Government Financial Reporting Standards). Accounting Reforms). Successful implementation in IR will pave the way for others to follow. Accounting reforms coupled with commercial architecture, cost and profit centres and profitability analysis will empower the management with critical business information to take decisions. The project will enable availability of accurate and timely financial information, which when coupled with operational data can provide the tools for cost benchmarking for control purposes.

Presently, development of train costing model for costing of train operations is underway to bring in section costing methodology and other aspects to actually move into train costing. The consultants have provided models for costing train journeys between any two pair of points.

2.1.1 Originating Loading: At every loading point, individual wagon of the rake are subjected to weighment and record of loading is usually available on a computerized electronic weighing machine. This loading is authentically declared, documented and used as the basis for billing. Accumulated data of originating loading is reported to the division, zone and Railway Board. Hence, this improved index of success indicator is adopted in the RFD.

2.1.2 Net Transportation: The Net Transportation is measured in Net Transportation

Kilometers and is denoted as NTKM. The NTKM is the product of net weight of the loaded commodity and the distance in kilometers over which it is moved.

2.2.1 Productive utilization of available wagons: This refers to the Average Net tonnage handed by a wagon for coverage kilometers in a given day, i.e. Nete Tonne Kilometer per day per wagon

study on the quadrilateral level

3.1.1 Passenger Kilometers (Non-Suburban): The passenger kms is the most commonly used index of the quantum of passenger transportation. It is arrived at by statistics of ticket sales. Each ticket has the no. of passengers as well as distance in KM between originating and destination station. This statistics pertains to Non-suburban section and is a summation of the product of number of passengers and the kilometer mentioned on each ticket sold.

3.1.2 Passenger Kilometers (Suburban): The passenger kms is the most commonly used

index of the quantum of passenger transportation. It is arrived at by statistics of ticket sales. Each ticket has the no. of passengers as well as distance in KM between originating and destination station. This statistics pertains to suburban section and is a summation of the product of number of passengers and the kilometer mentioned on each ticket sold.

3.1.3 Customer Satisfaction Index Survey: Customer Satisfaction Index survey has already been conducted in 2013-14 to assess the satisfaction evels of rail users. Report is awaited and any further implementation of continued survey will be done after study of the report. However, for 2014-15, one more round of survey is proposed to be initiated at around 100 stations.

3.2.1 Tourist Rail (including Pilgrimage Rail): Introduction of additional trains to tourist/pilgrims stations 4.1.1 New lines: This pertains to construction of New Lines. 4.1.2 Doubling: This pertains to doubling/tripling/quadrupling of track on single line section. 4.1.3 Electrification: This pertains to electrification of the track fo that traffic can also move on

5.1.1 Improvement in productivity of all staff: The unit for measuring performance in

relation to the objective as a measure of staff productivity has been suggested as million traffic units per employee for RFD in FY 2012-13 onwards. In our Vision 2020 document also, Million traffic units (PKM+NTKM) per employee has been used for international comparison.

5.2.1 Special focus on developing skilled human resources to meet future demand:

Initial/Refresher training of technical staff in Railways‟ Training Centres 6.1.1 IT in passenger reservations - e-tickets, i-tickets sold (in lakhs Nos.) : As a part of

making the railway reservation more user friendly and transparent, this initiative has been taken.

6.1.2 Increase in capability of issuing e-ticket/i-ticket on the internet (per minute) : As a

part of speeding up the railway reservation for rail users, this initiative has been taken. 6.1.3 Facilities for differently abled - Provision/augmentation of amenities at station,

including those for differently abled passengers is a continuous process. Facilities for persons with disabilities at stations have been divided into two categories, viz. short term and long term facilities.

1. Short term facilities are (i) standard ramp for barrier free entry (ii) earmarking at least two parking lots (iii) non-slippery walk-way from parking lot to building (iv) signages of appropriate visibility (v) at least one drinking water tap suitable for use by differently abled persons (vi) at least one toilet on the ground floor and (vii) „May I help you‟ Booth.

Provision of short term facilities has been planned at all stations beginning with „A1‟, „A‟ and „B‟ category stations.

2. Long term facilities are

(i) Provision of facility for inter-platform transfer and

(ii) Engraving on edges of platform. (iii) Long term facilities are planned after provision of short term facilities at A-1, A and

B category stations.

6.1.4 Provision of bio/ controlled discharge toilets in trains: Indian Railways are the first and only railway system in the world that is using a combination of design and technology to provide environment friendly toilets. Unlike adoption of proven technology, such new technology poses fresh technological challenges and safety issues that need to be solved along the way during its implementation. Hence, year-wise targets will need to be kept flexible to enable mid-course correction whenever design/ fitment/ maintenance problems affect pace of fitment. As far as fitment in all new coaches is concerned, it is being planned that all new coaches, manufactured after 2016-17, will be turned out fitted with bio-toilets by the production units. Year-wise targets of fitment of bio-toilets in the whole fleet of existing coaches, even if predicted based on current experience, may change because of design evolution, as explained above.

6.1.5 Introduction of Premium Trains: In order to ease rail travel, Indian Railways has come

up with the idea of running dedicated fast trains between significant stations with less stoppages, no wai-listed passengers and dynamic pricing concept. Initial results have been very encouraging and more such trains are proposed to be introduced.

6.1.6 Stations provided with improved amenities under upgradation scheme (Adarsh

Station): All stations have been provided prescribed amenities as per the class of station and standard norms and there is a continuous internal scrutiny of availability of amenities vis-à-vis the stipulated norms. However, for effecting further improvement, numbers of stations are being taken up under Upgradation scheme “Adarsh Station” which will lead to improvements in already existing facilities.

7.1.1 Improvement in fuel efficiency (SFC Diesel): Specific fuel consumption (Diesel) is a

measure of the fuel efficiency of diesel locomotives.

7.1.2 Improvement in fuel efficiency (SEC Electrical): Specific energy consumption (Electrical) is a measure of the energy efficiency of electric locomotives.

7.2.1 Trees Planted – Afforestation: It refers to the number of trees that are proposed to be

planted in the available area. It is highlighted that with each passing year, area available for plantation is progressively coming down.

6.3.1 Production of wind energy: Installation of wind energy plants has been taken up on a pilot basis to assess its wider scope on Indian Railways as an environment-friendly measure.

7.3.2 No. of Stations provided with solar energy panels during the year: As a measure of

saving energy from conventional sources, Indian Railways have taken up the task of fitting solar energy panels at various stations, including wayside and remote stations to the extent feasible.

7.3.3 No. of level crossing provided with solar energy panels during the year: As a

measure of saving energy from conventional sources and also to provide power to such remote and isolated areas where power connectivity is not existing, Indian Railways have taken up the task of fitting solar energy panels at various level crossing gates to the extent feasible.

8.1.1 Initiatives to reduce accidents (On Board Installations): In order to make the train

operation safer, efforts are being made to put in systems like TPWS, TCAS, VCDs on locomotives etc. Following targets have been fixed for 2014-15. (i) Train Protection & Warning System (TPWS)

50 kms:2 (Basin Bridge-Arrakkonam)

25 kms:1

(ii) Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS): Extended trials on South Central Railway:

>200 Km : 3

100 to 200 Km : 2

50 to 100 Km : 1 (iii) Global System for Mobile Communication/Railways (GSM/R):

>200 Km : 2 (Gaziabad-Mughalsarai & Jalandhar-Jammu Tawi)

150-200 Km : 1 (iv) Vigilance Control Device (VCD) on Diesel Loco – 100% (v) Vigilance Control Device (VCD) on Elec. Loco – 100%

Above initiatives are being tried on a pilot basis and the results and feedback obtained from the above exercise will be analyzed before any further proliferation can be carried over larger areas.

8.1.2 Initiatives to reduce accidents (Fixed Installations): In order to make the train

operation safer, efforts are being made to improve the signaling systems, standards of interlocking, isolations etc. over various sections of Indian Railways. Following targets have been fixed for 2014-15.

(i) Centralised interlocking: 250 stations (min)=1

(ii) Multiple Aspect Colour Light Signalling (MACLS) with Light Emitting Diode (LED)

lamps: 120 stations (min) =1

(iii) Complete track circuiting of station sections: 500 locations (min)= 2

(iv) Block proving by axle counters: 250 block sections (min) =2

(v) Interlocking and provision of telephones at Level Crossings (LCs): 250 nos. (min)=2

(vi) Isolation in old crossing stations: 30 stations (min)=2

8.2.1 Elimination of Level Crossing gates (Completed in the year): In order to bring down

the occurrences of mishaps at the level crossings, Indian Railways have taken up the job of eliminating the level crossings as a mission area. This is being done through putting in overbridges or underbridges, as feasible.

8.3.1 No. of stations having Integrated Security at Stations:- Integrated Security System is

being implemented to strengthen surveillance mechanism over selected sensitive

stations of the Indian Railways. The System has been envisaged to put in place a

multiple checking system starting from entry to the station premises till the boarding of

the train by passengers. Area to be covered under the above System include entry/exit

points, circulating area, concourse, platforms, parcel area, foot over bridge, washing line,

vehicle entry point etc. Automatic vehicle scanners and X-ray baggage scanners have

been envisaged under the above System for scanning of vehicles and baggage. For

explosive detection, provision of explosive vapour detector and sniffer dogs is being

made at nominated railway stations. The Integrated Security System comprises of

following four broad areas-

(i) Internet protocol based CCTV system (ii) Access control system

(iii) Personal & baggage screening system (iv) Explosive detection & disposal system

9.1.1 Give necessary support and clearance (Additional Capacity installed): Information

has to be provided by other responsible ministries.

9.1.2 Give necessary support and clearance (Total power generated): Information has to

be provided by other responsible ministries.

Section 5: Specific performance requirements from other departments that are

critical for delivering agreed results.

1. Other Ministries and Departments: Railway Traffic demand specially in

Freight traffic is a derived demand. This means that the demand for Railway Freight

Traffic depends on demand for various commodities carried by Railways which in turn

depend on the extent of economic activity in the related sectors. These commodities

includes coal, iron ore, finished steel, cement, fertilizers, food grains etc.. Hence, the

performance of Ministry of Railways will depend also on the performance of other

Ministries viz. Ministry of Coal, Ministry of Steel, Ministry of Mining, Ministry of Food

and Ministry of Commerce.

2. Budgetary Support: Indian Railways is a Ministry of the Government of India.

The tariff structure is, therefore, a matter of Government policy decided, taking into

account not only the commercial considerations of operating the service but also of

social and people oriented objectives of the Government of India. The internal

resources, therefore, are constrained by the overall view taken by the Government as

a whole. Under these circumstances, it is imperative that adequate budgetary support

is extended to the infrastructure development plans drafted to create the necessary

infrastructure for sustaining the growth. Hence, budgetary support from Government

of India (Finance Ministry) in the right proportion is essentially required.

3. Ministry of Environment & Forest: Forest and environment clearance needs

to be given in time from Ministry of Environment & Forest for timely initiation and

completion of Railway projects.

4. Land Acquisition: As land acquisition for Railway projects is done through

state government agencies, there is dependency on state government machinery for

timely land acquisition.

5. Law & Order: Indian Railways traverses through the individual States in its

day to day operations. It is also highly vulnerable to disturbances due to agitations

and vandalism. Therefore, there is heavy dependency on the State Government‟s

support and adequate empowerment of the Government Railway Police (GRP) to

ensure freedom from obstruction and vandalism.
