Railways Minister Dinesh Trivedi, as
part of his Rail Budget 2012-13, on Wednesday announced a nominal increase in
passenger fares.
According to the Railway Minister, fares will go up by 2 paise per km in ordinary second class and suburban services; by 3 paise in mail/express second class; 5 paise per km in sleeper class; 10 paise per km in AC 3-tier, AC chair car, and non-AC First Class; 15 paise per km in AC two-tier; and 30 paise per km in AC first class.
Also, minimum fare and platform tickets would now cost Rs 5.
This is the first hike in passenger fares in 10 years.
Trivedi also announced 75 new Express trains, 21 passenger trains, besides 75 new services in Mumbai suburban rail network, 50 new services in Kolkata suburban rail network and 15 in Chennai suburban rail network.
In his Rail Budget speech, the minister spelt out five priority areas for the Railways over the 12th Five Year Plan.
Trivedi emphasized that safety and modernisation will be the prime focus and that Railways would try to stop unfortunate occurrences in the future.
"My focus will be safe safety, safety, safety," Trivedi said, adding he had taken over the ministry last year in the backdrop of a rail accident in Uttar Pradesh.
"I vow to target zero deaths," he said in his maiden rail budget speech. "I also propose to set up an independent railway safety authority, as recommended by an expert group headed by the former Atomic Energy Commission chairman Anil Kakodkar."
Apart from safety, the other four focus areas include consolidation, de-congestion and capacity augmentation, modernisation and bringing down operating ratio.
Trivedi said the Railways will invest Rs 7.35 lakh crore during the 12th Five Year Plan period (2012-17), against Rs 1.92 lakh crore in the current one. By then, it will double its contribution to India's gross domestic product to 2 percent.
He further said that as part of modernisation exercise, Railway stations will be developed on the lines of airports.
