HISTORY
?The idea of a rail network was first
thought of in 1847.
? On May 13th, 1861 with the help
of Sir Henry Edward Frere the
first railway line was opened to the
public, between Karachi (city) and
Kotri, with a total distance of 105
miles (169 km).

of railways

MINISTRY OF RAILWAY

of Railways nowadays.

DECLINE OF PAKISTAN RAILWAYS
? Pakistan Railways is not only the cheapest
yet safest mode of travel.
? Over the years, lack of attention, poor policies,
increasing expenditures, and most recently, the
floods have left the Railways with huge deficits
running in billions of rupees

CURRENT PREPARED POSITION

? Paying 4.6 billion as a interest to State Bank of
Pakistan.
? Revenue declining repeatedly

PR COOPERATION WITH CHINA

of Pakistan Railways for the past five years
? China is to export 69 modern locomotive
engines to Pakistan to modernize Pakistan's
railway fleet.
? The first 15 engines will be manufactured in
China and the remainder will be assembled
in Pakistan, with spare parts and technology
provided by China.

COMPETITORS OF RAILWAYS
? CNG Buses,
? Daewoo Express,
? Bilal Travels,
? Khan Brothers,

RESTRUCTURING OF PAKISTAN RAILWAYS
? Time is important to the customers.
? The seat reservation system should be made
online.
? The first line staff should be trained.
? Railways service center should be restarted.
? Proper information should be provided to the
customers.
? Railway stations should be clean.

REVENUE VS EXPENDITURE
? The major losses faced by the Pakistan
Railways today are a direct result of
decreasing revenues with increased
expenditures.
? The expenditure recently crossed Rs.53 billion
in one year out of which Rs.20 billion were
allocated for salaries and pensions.
? The revenues are dwindling to about Rs.23
billion per year.
? Revenue share for freight trains has declined
from 40 percent to 25 percent as a direct result
of neglecting this cheap mode of transportation

DISASTERS
? Nature has not been too kind to
Pakistan Railways either.
? According to the National Disaster Management
Authority, the recent floods have caused a loss of
Rs.6.7 billion to the railway network as several
hundred kilometres of lines were washed away.

STRATEGIES FOR TURNAROUND
GOALS

engines

employees consisting of staff and officers as
of 2008. which is more than required.
? Employees are taking salaries without
working and sitting idle at home.
? More than Rs.20 billion is allocated for
salaries and pensions
? Employees have very strong unions so it is
difficult for Government to fired them

PRIVATIZATION OF RAILWAY
? The Finance Division of GoP has proposed
the privatization of Pakistan Railway due to
the increasing budget shortage and poor
performance of Pakistan Railways since last
many years
? I as a citizen of Pakistan think that
privatization of Pakistan railway is good for
railway

SURVEY
? According to Gilani research
foundation, 42 % of all
Pakistanis support the
privatization of Pakistan
railway.

believed that privatization of
Pakistan Railway is not a good
idea and the rest of the 23 %
