The Railways had to grapple with shortfall in revenue targets and “unbearable burden” of Pay Commission recommendations in 2015 and hopes to address the twin issues next year.
Though earnings were up by 6.67 per cent up to December 10 as compared to last year, there was a decline in meeting the target. Railways’ earnings till December 10 were Rs 1,11,834.32 crore as against the target of Rs 1,22,639.16 crore, a decline of 8.8 per cent.
