Year 2006-07 2007-08 2008-09
Amount 101 153 157
(Crores of Rs.)
(b) The prevalent system of earning through commercial advertising is through the first cum first serve
basis in innovative areas and through the tender process in established areas. The Railways has been
able to attract private partnership on certain passenger amenity items e.g. display boards, water
vending machines, on board infotainment system, battery operated vehicles for disabled and aged
passengers etc, wherein the party providing these amenities has the rights of advertising on them.
This is a continuous process and the Railways is making all efforts to substantially increase earnings
through Public Private Partnership.
