Rail Coach Restaurant: Indian Railways’ step to earn additional income! The West Central Railway has decided to start rail coach restaurants at seven major railway stations under Jabalpur and Bhopal Divisions, in the state of Madhya Pradesh. In a bid to establish Rail Coach Restaurants at railway stations, the national transporter has finalized contracts under non-fare revenue policy. Under this initiative, old train coaches will be refurbished and transformed into rail coach restaurants. However, even after conversion into rail coach restaurants, these train coaches will continue to remain as Indian Railways’ property. The contract will be valid for a period of five years. According to West Central Railways, 200 square feet area has been provided at each location. With this initiative, the zonal railway will have an additional income of Rs 04.80 crore non-fare revenue.
