From September 2016 to February 2017, the Railways earned `250 crore while it lost 1 lakh passengers on the routes of premium trains.
1 lakh passengers thoda jada estimate ho gaya but if true then Rs 1000 ke bhi rate se 10 crore ka loss which is negligible infront of 250 crores profit. This is why Railways shows no mood to let it go. And with new upgradation policy they will manage to fill this 1 lac seats also jisse jada nahi to 50% bhi cost recovery ho jayega
