Recommendations

EARNINGS	EXPENDITURE
Suburban earnings to be accounted Separately	TKM basis for calculation not GTKM
Suburban earnings in JET separately	TKM to be inflated a factor of 1.5 %
Suburban earnings for traffic interchanged With foreign railway separately	Track life to be 30 years instead of 55 years
Earnings at suburban section a.      license fee, VLR, book stall b.	OHE life to be 20 years instead of 40 years
	EMU costing not to take leasing charges Cf: Nanjundappa Committee Report
	Separate sub detailed head for EMU like in Mumbai and Calcutta

Recommendations:

Like in Mumbai, a separate Urban Rail Transport Corporation under the authority of Union Ministry of Urban Development with the stack holders local self-government (municipal corporations), Non-Banking Finance Corporation, Infrastructure Development Companies, State Govt, and the public may be formed.

Already, M/s Chennai Metro Rail Corporation has finalized taking over of MRTS –Railways. (Mass Rapid Transport System – Railways.

A similar system of urban transport is prevalent in European Union. In Italy, the ‘Trans Alto Velocita’ has bifurcated the train operation into rail and wheel separation. The Rail infrastructure is invested by various stack holders.   

Like in Malaysia, bus connectivity Rapid Bus with railheads Rapid Rail may be initiated.

Proper compensation for the surrender of infrastructure and rolling stock, signal and OHE is to be acquired from Union Ministry of Urban Development.
