Value of earnings from rail passenger traffic in India FY 2010-2023
The value of earnings from rail passenger traffic across India amounted to around 7.4 billion U.S. dollars at the end of fiscal year 2023. Passenger segment revenue grew at a compound annual growth rate of about six percent from fiscal year 2008 to 2019. The decrease in 2020 and 2021 was mainly due to the impact of coronavirus pandemic. The rail network across the South Asian country was the fourth largest in the world and transported over 3.2 billion passengers and more than 7.8 billion metric tons of freight in 2022.
