The Committee on Public Accounts urged Indian Railways to lower fares and boost occupancy for higher revenue. It criticized dynamic pricing for causing losses in Suvidha Express and recommended fare rationalization, AI-driven seat optimization, and studies on train utilization. The report advised making rail travel more attractive than air travel and suggested flexible pricing for higher berth occupancy. Indian Railways responded with fare reviews, discounts, and quota adjustments, but the Committee stressed the need for ongoing monitoring to ensure maximum utilization and revenue growth.
