What were the reasons behind the DRAMATIC TURNAROUND was seen in Indian Railways....
?
Mr.Laloo prasad yadhav
Before Laloo joined as Union Railway minister, 2004
Hopeless, loss-making organisation, white elephant.
Too little revenues but too many problems along with too many employees.
Indian Railways was spending 91% of its revenues on salaries and maintain its aging organisation alone.!!
This “White elephant” had a debt of about Rs.61,000 crores ($12.3 billion)
After Lallo took over IR, 2005 onwards.....
IR has turned in a cumulative cash surplus before dividend of Rs 68,778 crore ($13.9 billion). Out of this Rs 15,898 crore has been paid as dividend, Rs 39,215 crore has been invested in rail infrastructure and Rs 13,665 crore has been added to fund balances to reach Rs 20,483 cr.
What did the minister do to turnaround Indian railways?
Refused to hike fares. Shored up earnings by carrying more passengers and freight.
Increased the load carried by a goods wagon from 81 tonnes to 90 tonnes. This gave an additional earning of Rs 7,200 crore.
Upgraded tickets if seats were going vacant in the upper class. So, waitlisted passengers could be allotted seats.
Maintained passenger profile so that bogies could be taken off or added to trains according to seasonal demand.
“The solution lay in increasing volumes and not the cost ”
Lallu's Success secrets* Down-to-earth attitude and traditional wisdom.
"My mother always told me not to handle a buffalo by its tail, but always take it by its horns.”.
“If you do not milk the cow fully, it falls sick.”
* Choose the right people! - Sudhir Kumar, a brilliant Bihar cadre IAS taken as OSD.
* Don’t Micro Manage, Delegate your work, take calculated risks!
* Information is wealth if used properly.
* Think out of the box. Implement creative & innovative ideas.
* Do what makes sense. Be practical.

Indian railways- problems faced
Surplus manpower Power staff productivity Lack of flexibility in pricing Lack of accountability Politicization of decision making
processes. Loss of market share in profitable
freight business. Over crowding is most faced problem
Ticketless travel is also a major problem faced
Indian railways enhancement initiatives
Capacity enhancement .(increasing wagon loading capacity , turn
around time ,and wagon sidings ) Capacity utilization(tariff rationalization ,loyalty discount
scheme) Revenue enhancement(reducing AC class fares, increasing number
of coaches in popular trains )
Favorable factors:
Rise in demand
Decentralizing
Change in macroeconomic conditions
Changes in organizational culture
Human resource initiatives
