Section 4: Description and definition of success indicators and measurement methodology:
Freight services constitute the most important segment of activity of railway business. The earnings from freight account form more than two-thirds of the total earnings. Accordingly, the weightage has been fixed at 25%.
As visualized in the Vision 2020 Document, increase in volumes as well as increase in speed is the objective of improving the services. The success indicators identified are:
(i) Originating Traffic
(ii) Net transportation
(iii) Average speed of goods trains
These are described below:
(i) Originating Loading
At every loading point, individual wagon of the rake are subjected to weighment and record of loading is usually available on a computerized electronic weighing machine. This loading is authentically declared, documented and used as the basis for billing. Accumulated data of originating loading is reported to the division, zone and Railway Board. Hence, this improved index of success indicator is adopted in the RFD.
(ii) Net Transportation
The total quantum of transportation is expressed in GTKMs (Gross Tonne Kilometres) and NTKM (Net Tonne Kilometres). The NTKM is the product of net weight of the commodity loaded and the distance in kilometers over which it is moved. This is the better index of customer interest as compared to GTKM because GTKM includes the dead weight of the wagon also, which is of no interest to the customer. Systematic records exist in the railway system to capture and measure the NTKMs.
(iii) Average speed of goods trains
The speed in kmph of goods train is routinely monitored and documented over clearly demarcated sections of railway divisions. In fact, it is an important index of the level of congestion, optimum utilization of available paths and many other operational variables. It, therefore, embodies a number of situational factors – both controllable and extraneous. The organizational goal is to eliminate the known causes of
198 INDIAN RAILWAYS ANNuAL REpORT AND ACCOuNTS 2012-13
congestion so as to improve the average speed of trains. Hence, it qualifies as an important parameter of performance and thus, included in the RFD.
(iv) Passenger Kilometres:
The passenger kms is the most commonly used index of the quantum of passenger transportation. It is arrived at by statistics of ticket sales and is compiled in a systematic manner at all levels in railway system.
Improvment or deterioration of the punctuality of that train. Elaborate exercise of time-tabling is undertaken and sufficient allowances are also provided for recovery on engineering account, traffic account and loco account. Once the time-table is framed, it becomes the reference for deciding whether a particular train is running punctually or not.
(v) Punctuality:
At present a train is treated as punctual if it reaches its destination within 15 minutes of its scheduled arrival time. The current computerized monitoring system has been introduced in 2009 under ICMS (Integrated Coaching Management System) which is linked to COA (Control Office Application). This methodology is based on the customer’s perception and not based on zone wise statistical performance which was the case earlier.
(vi) Flagship projects:
For the purpose of RFD 10 projects have been selected based on their impact on the Railways image and Financial Health in the long run.
(vii) Critical Projects
For the purpose of the RFD these projects are selected which are critical to immediate operational needs of the Railways and also included in the list of projects monitored by Ministry of Statistics and Programme Implementation.
(viii) Wagon Manufacturing
Since variety of wagons is manufactured every year and their payload to tare ratio is different these have been indexed on the basis of standard wagon. Higher payload to tare ratio is advantageous to railways for efficient transportation. Technology also plays important role in maximizing the pay to tare ratio.

(ix) Operating ratio
It means number of rupees spent to earn `100. Lesser the operating ratio better is the financial health of the Railways.
(x) Productivity
The productivity of railway staff is expressed in terms of gross earnings per employee on roll. For workshop staff it is expressed as total credits (in `) per employee working in either workshops or production units.
(xi) The no. of stations on which all the essential prescribed amenities for differently abled persons is provided.
(xii) On Board House Keeping Services (OBHS): It is scheme to provide certain prescribed services through a contract by staff travelling on board in order to enhance the level of passenger satisfaction.
(xiii) SFC Diesel: - Specific fuel consumption is a measure of the fuel efficiency of diesel locomotives
(xiv) SEC Electrical: - Specific energy consumption is a measure of the energy efficiency of electric locomotives
(xv) VCD: - Vigilance Control Device: Design to stop a train if the driver is not vigilant for a specific duration.
Section 5: Specific performance requirements from other departments that are critical for delivering agreed results.
1. Budgetary Support: Indian Railways is a Ministry of the Government of India. The tariff structure is, therefore, a matter of Government policy decided, taking into account not only the commercial considerations of operating the service but also of social and people oriented objectives of the Government of India. The internal resources, therefore, are constrained by the overall view taken by the Government as a whole. Under these circumstances, it is imperative that adequate budgetary support is extended to the infrastructure development plans drafted to create the necessary infrastructure for sustaining the growth. Hence, budgetary support from Government of India (Finance Ministry ) in the right proportion is essentially required.
2. Law & Order: Indian Railways traverses through the individual States in its day to day operations. It is also
200 INDIAN RAILWAYS ANNuAL REpORT AND ACCOuNTS 2012-13
highly vulnerable to disturbances due to agitations and vandalism. Therefore, there is heavy dependency on the State Government’s support and adequate empowerment of the Government Railway Police (GRP) to ensure freedom from obstruction and vandalism.
