Today did some research regarding the earnings of this train and got these results..(these all results exclude the earnings by wl passengers)
1)approximate sleeper class earning was found to be rupees 361400 (out of ten sl bogies i multiplied rupees 500 as the per pax fare of 8 sl coaches and multiplied 300 rupees as the per passengers fare of the rest the 2 coaches which are for the intermediate pqwl and rlwl halts...
2) the total 3ac earning was found to be 2.25 lakhs
3)
...
more...
the total 2nd and1st ac earning was about 3 lakhs..
The total earning from the reserved class was found to be something around 8.5 lakhs per one side trip...
Now lets consider the expenses..
Fuel expenses :- (as a diesel engine consumes 4-5 litres of diesel/km fand assume the diesel price to be 60 rupees then fuel consumption for 1200 km =3.5 lakhs (though this train covers half of its journey using e loco which are much cheaper in operation).
Let other expenses to be 2-3 lakhs then still we have 3-4 lakh rupees left per trip..
SO MY QUESTION IS WHY ACTUALLY RUNS IN LOSS EVEN THOUGH THE TRAINS RUN CARRYING PASSENGERS TWICE OR THRICE ITS ACTUAL CAPACITY ....

ye sab sirf dikhane ke hai, mai to har train me dekhta hu TTE collects 10000-25000 from unreserved pax almost daily in each train going towards Bihar/ Gkp. Magar wo paisa kaha jaata hai. For this I am going to tell you an incident. In 2010 Oct, a day before Diwali I was onboard Sampoorna Kranti Express. That day JS and Magadh both were rescheduled. and all the rush came pouring in for SK. I saw a bunch of TTEs approximated 10-15 of them surrounded by pax getting blank paper ticket of SK to travel in SK. each coach had around 200-250 pax and I estimate the collection that day from that train would have been around 2-2.5 lakhs.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
