Fall of INDIAN Railways | What’s Killing India’s Lifeline?

印度铁路的衰落，是什么在扼杀印度的生命线？

Indian Railways has come a long way. Although it was born to increase our own exploitation by the colonial powers, in independent India, this system became the backbone of the country. It played a very important role in the economic and social development of the country.

With 32,310 kms of tracks, 23 million people avail its services every day. These people come from everywhere, from small villages to metro cities. Some come to study, some for jobs, some for business and some just to travel. That is, it not only helps people but also spreads development in every corner of the country. It is called the ninth largest employer in the world. It provides livelihood to 1.2 lakh people and also contributes 1.5 percent to the country's GDP. Its contribution in the transportation of goods is even bigger. By November 2024-25, the railways carried 96.9 million tonnes of goods, which is 2.2 percent more than last year. These figures show that the Indian Railways not only helps people but also takes the country's trade forward.

印度铁路已经走过了漫长的历程。尽管它最初诞生是为了让殖民列强加大对我们的剥削，但在独立后的印度，铁路成为了国家的经济支柱，在国家的经济和社会发展中发挥了极其重要的作用。

印度铁路全长32310公里，每天有2300万人坐火车。这些人来自四面八方，从小村庄到大城市都有。有些人是坐火车去求学，有些人是坐火车去找工作，有些人是为了做生意，还有些人只是为了坐火车旅行。也就是说，铁路不仅帮助了人们，还将发展传播到了国家的各个角落。它被称为世界第九大雇主。它为12万人提供了生计，并且对GDP的贡献率达到了1.5%。它在货物运输方面的贡献更大。截至2024-25年度11月，印度铁路运输了9690万吨货物，比去年增长了2.2%。这些数据表明，印度铁路不仅为人们提供了帮助，还推动了国家贸易的发展。

For some time now, it seems that the life of Indian Railways, called the lifeline of the country, is in danger. The infrastructure of the railways has become old, due to which efficiency is decreasing. Overcrowding and mismanagement are creating more and more dangers every day. Stampedes held at Jalgaon and New Delhi railway stations exposes the poor condition of safety. Despite 97 broad gauge electrification, 95% accidents are happening due to driver errors, which shows the poor conditions of their employees. On top of this, the financial crunch of this sector makes any improvement impossible. Freight transport has also come down from 80 to 29, which is also weakening the competing edge of the railways.

In the budget of 2025-26, Rs 2.52 lakh crore has been allocated to Rail Wages, but experts say that it is not enough to improve its condition. Overall, Indian Railways today stands at a very delicate turn of its journey. If no immediate steps are taken in this direction, then this system can derail, due to which both the people dependent on it and the country's economy can get a big shock.

一段时间以来，被称为国家生命线的印度铁路似乎岌岌可危。铁路基础设施陈旧不堪，运营效率不断下降。

过度拥挤和管理不善，每天制造越来越多的危险。贾尔冈和新德里火车站发生的踩踏事件暴露了安全状况。

尽管97%的宽轨已经实现电气化，但95%的事故却是由司机失误造成的，这反映出员工的工作条件不佳。

除此之外，该行业的资金短缺使得改善铁路变得不可能。货运量也下降了，削弱了铁路的竞争力。

在2025-26年度的预算中，为铁路员工工资拨款2.52万亿卢比，但专家表示，这不足以改善铁路的状况。总体而言，如今的印度铁路正处于发展历程中一个非常关键的转折点。如果不立即采取措施，铁路体系可能会崩溃，人们的出行以及国家经济都会受到严重冲击。

以下是各国网友的评论：

aburasle4713
Indian Railway is dying, is false concept. New railroad is not being built and replaced according to the need and demand of growing development, is the right concept

认为印度铁路正在走向衰败，这是错误观念。新铁路未依照不断发展的需求进行更新，这才是实情。

Timewastedonyt
Indian Railway is not dying it is being deliberately killed by not investing in infrastructure enough

印度铁路并非自行衰败，而是因基础设施投资不足，被人为地推向绝境。

U said the same thing in a more refined way

你把同样的意思，表达得更加文雅而已。

2014 के पहले बैलगाड़ी था, अब जाके रेलगाड़ी मिली है

2014年之前只有牛车，如今好歹有了火车。

KuldeepKumar-dj6fp
​ @Ravi-jq4om यही बैलगाड़ी 12से भी ज्यादा लाख लोगों को रोजगार दे रही थी और रेलगाड़ी बनाने के बाद 7 लाख एम्पलाइज रह गया है आपकी रेलगाड़ी में।। और इस रेलगाड़ी में 2014 से पहले भी जो दूरी 6 hours m बैलगाड़ी पूरी करती थी आज आपकी रेलगाड़ी भी वही दुरी 6 hours m hi पूरी कर रही है
​

正是这牛车，曾经为超过120万人提供了生计。而你们的火车造出来之后，仅留下70万雇员。并且这火车，如今跑完以前牛车6小时能跑完的路程，依旧还是得花6小时。

KumarjiIndia
Reel minister is focusing on money. He is making luxrous trains. He is focusing on 5 crore Indians. He is not focusing on what 135 crores indians can afford. They are removing general and sleeper coaches

那位爱作秀的铁路部长一心只想着钱。他打造豪华列车，只关注五千万印度人，却不顾十三亿五千万印度人经济上能承受的范围。他们还在削减普通车厢和卧铺车厢。

Indian railway is already dead from few years

印度铁路早在几年前就名存实亡了。

ShashwatSharma-o3s
Railway Ministry sabse bekar performance de rahi.... preferring corporates Good train then passengers train...new route Goods train ke liye ban Raha ... passengers train ke liye kuch khas nehi hai.

印度铁道部的表现糟糕透顶，重货运列车而轻客运列车。 新修的路线都是为货运列车准备的，对客运列车而言没什么特别利好。

technocrats78
so what he is educated and he is transforming the railways in a way better than all the railway ministers

那又怎样，他受过良好教育，而且他比历任铁道部长都做得更好

Makethelifebright
More than 12 lakh people are doing job in India railway not 1.2 lakh

在印度铁路系统工作的人超过120万，而不是12万。

debimukherjee2933
How many permanent?? How many temporary or contractual?

有多少是有编制的？又有多少是临时或合同制员工呢？

Makethelifebright
@debimukherjee2933 More than 12 lakh is Permanent.

超过120万是有编制的

Hindu_Engineer
कभी यात्रा करो रेल मै भी तो पता चले कि भीड़ इतनी है कि स्लीपर क्लास जनरल हो जाता है। पता नही तुम ये narrative किसके कहने पर बना रहे हो।

你们要是坐一回火车就知道了，人满为患，卧铺车厢都跟普通车厢一样挤。真不知道你们这些说法是听谁说的。

SaifKhan-wi7bq
मेट्रो की तरह AFC गेट लगवाएं साल भर के अंदर पैसेंजर से भी लाभ मिलने लगेगा, पर एक बात बताएं रेलवे के खुद के वर्कर ही AFC नहीं लगने देंगे

要是像地铁那样装上自动售检票闸机，不出一年就能盈利。但话说回来，铁路部门自己的员工恐怕就不允许装这闸机。

pmrnadli
AFC sambhav nhi hai bhai logo me etna civic sense nhi

哥们儿，装自动售检票闸机行不通，人们可没那么强烈的公民意识。

आपको पता है सिर्फ रेड सिग्नल एक इंच भी पार हो जाए तो ड्राइवर को नौकरी से बाहर निकाल दिया जाता है।

你知道吗，只要司机哪怕越过了一点点红灯，就会被开除。

अगले कुछ सालों में वंदे भारत ट्रेन को pvt हाथों में दिया जाएगा। ये बात लिखकर रखलो।

未来几年内，“致敬印度”号列车肯定会落入私人手中，我们走着瞧。

rishavkumar9427
Government bas kaam chala rahi hai..
1 recruitment complete hone me 3 saal laga deti hai par railway minister purana recruitment data dikha ke palla jhad lete hai..
Kuch nahi hoga vande Bharat train se upgrade every single train and recruitment board

政府就是在敷衍了事，一次招聘能拖个三年才完成，可铁道部长却拿旧的招聘数据来蒙混过关。 光靠“致敬印度”号列车可不行，得升级每一辆列车，还得整顿招聘委员会。

sohamsaha5911
Main reason is The Lack of civic sense, people travel in train without buying tickets.

主要原因是人们缺乏公民意识，好多人坐火车都不买票。

avinnash_kumar
But who is responsible for this ?? Can same people travel without ticket in metro ??
Instead of blaming people you must ask question to govt. More than 3 lakh posts in railways are vacant and govt is not filling these vacancy.

这该怪谁呢？这些人能不买票坐地铁吗？

别一味指责民众，应该问责政府。铁路系统有超过30万个岗位空缺，政府却不填补。

World's 4 th largest railway network... With world's slowest railway speed

印度拥有世界第四大铁路网， 却有着世界最慢的火车速度。

95 % accident ड्राइवर कर रहे है , आपको भगवान सद्बुद्धि दे , हर दुर्घटना का ठीकरा लोको पायलट पर फोड़ा जाता है लेकिन फ़ाइनल जॉच में कोई और दोषी पाया जाता है

说是95%的事故都是司机造成的，真希望老天能给你们点理智。每次出事故都先把责任推到火车司机身上，可最终调查却总能找出别的责任人。

subhadeepchatterjee362
Only two things are killing our Indian Railways
1) Overcrowding due to lack of Civic sense of People
2) Government only focus on Vande Bharat and bullet trains but doesn't focus on track maintenance

只有两件事在毁掉我们的印度铁路：

1）民众缺乏公民意识导致火车过度拥挤

2）政府只关注“致敬印度”号列车和高铁，却不重视铁轨维护

How is civics sense responsible for overcrowding in railway coaches

公民意识怎么会跟火车车厢拥挤扯上关系呢？

Timewastedonyt
"Overcrowding due to lack of Civics sense"
What　(I am unable to even comprehend this sentence)

“因缺乏公民意识导致过度拥挤”

什么呀，说不通啊，我理解不了这句话

TotalBakwas-e8v
Civics sense... And overcrowding...?
Seriously

公民意识， 还有过度拥挤？

开什么玩笑

ani-railwayman
Ignore him brothers because he has civic sense but doesn't have common sense

兄弟们别理他，他有公民意识却没常识。

KSAx69
Overcrowding due to civic sense?

因为公民意识导致过度拥挤？

अधिकतर भारतीय गरीब और मिडिल क्लास के है वो ac कोच afford नहीं कर सकते। जनरल स्लीपर और 3rd ac कोच की संख्या बढ़ाना चाहिए और स्टाफ की जरूरत है जो इन सबको मैनेज कर सके अधिकांश लोग टिकट इसीलिए भी नहीं लेते कि उन्हें सफर करने में काफी मशक्कत करना पड़ता है।

大多数印度人都是穷人和中产阶级，他们坐不起空调车厢。应该增加普通卧铺和三等空调车厢的数量，还需要有工作人员来管理。很多人不买票也是因为乘车过程实在太遭罪了。

vikashray649
Lalu and Nitish were good railway ministers. Current railway minister Aswini Vaishnav is not fit.

拉鲁和尼蒂什是不错的铁道部长。现任铁道部长阿斯维尼·瓦什纳夫不称职。

indian railway is not dying... India is dying.

不是印度铁路在走向衰败，而是整个印度在衰败。

awadhkishor9629
Railway is expanding, employee are retiring but no proportionate increase in staff.
No life of field/line staff.

铁路在扩张，员工在退休，可人员却没有相应增加。

一线员工简直没有生活质量可言。

AVSH007
भूमी अधिकरण करना मुस्किल हो गया है वरना नए रेलवे ट्रैक बनाने की जरूरत है ताकि रेलवे ट्रैक का लोड कम हो न्यू रेलवे चले। हाईवे निकलता है तो सब चाहते है उसकीतरफ से निकले जमीन के दाम ऊंचे मिलेंगे वही रेल पास होने पे सब चाहते है मेरी तरफ क्यों ले रहे हो जमीन के रेट गिर जाते है क्युकी। रेल चाहते सब है लेकिन जमीन देना कोई नही चाहता। और इंडिया के लोग भी बिना टिकट बैठ जाते है जनरल डिब्बे में। जरूरत है रेलवे का जाल बिछाने की रोजगार भी बडेगा और व्यापार जीडीपी भी। लेकिन वही जमीन कोई गवर्मेंट को देना ही नहीं चाहता और विकास भी चाहता है रेल का। तो गवर्मेट हाईवे ही बनाएगी और क्या करेगी।

现在土地征收变得困难重重，不然就需要修建新的铁路轨道，来减轻现有轨道的压力，让新火车能跑起来。

修建公路的时候，大家都希望从自家那边过，这样土地就能增值。可轮到铁路从自家附近经过时，大家又不愿意了，因为觉得土地会贬值。人人都想要铁路，但没人愿意出让土地。而且印度人还总不买票就直接坐进普通车厢。我们需要扩大铁路网络，这样就业机会也会增加，商业和GDP也会提升。但还是那句话，没人愿意把土地给政府，可又想要铁路发展。那政府也只能去修公路了，还能怎么办呢。

Gov. is killing railways!

印度政府在毁掉铁路！

railwaybikers
Actually, one of the main reason behind fall of Indian railways is :-
Electrification.
Vande bharat
Locomotive production without future plan.
Scrap of diesel locomotives

实际上，印度铁路衰败的主要原因之一如下：

电气化进程。

“致敬印度”号列车。

机车生产缺乏长远规划。

淘汰柴油机车。

Bringing bureaucrats to ministerial roles looked good initially, but so far both Jayasankar and Aswini have been dissappointing.

一开始让官僚担任部长职位看似不错，但到目前为止，贾亚桑卡尔和阿斯维尼都让人失望。

Everything is dying in India not only trains.

在印度，不只是火车，一切都在走向衰败。

Anosh_Pillai
Hey, human errors are the main reason for accidents and that is common across industries, even in aviation, human errors are what causes losses to lives, better salaries help out immensely in saving lives

嘿，人为失误是铁路事故的主要原因，这在各个行业都很常见，就连航空业也是，人为失误会导致人员生命损失。

bokaro001
This is because the government is just expending on show off rather than more important things like safety and passenger comfort and punctuality.

这是因为政府只是在做表面功夫，而没有把钱花在诸如安全、乘客舒适度和准点率这些更重要的事情上。

Tseriesradheradhe
Plz give your contribution towards it

请为改善印度铁路出一份力吧。

supriyasonkar31
We can see many persons who travel without ticket in train but not on other transport's so make a strick rule that no peraon should allowed without ticket may help

我们能看到很多人坐火车不买票，但在其他交通工具上却不会这样。当务之急是，严禁无票乘坐火车

SadhguruSir
It's because ticketless thugs entering reserved Compartments and taking over space.

这是因为那些不买票的无赖跑进预留车厢，霸占座位。

iaayushmishra2028
Civic sense of Common people is most important to revive Indian Railways.

普通民众的公民意识的提高，对于重振印度铁路至关重要。

ZenMaster070
I have not seen train vandalised to that extent in south India. Yes, education may NOT make your state economically strong but atleast it will instil civic sense. compulsory ENGLISH MEDIUM education till 12th grade must be enforced, and those who lack this shouldn’t be given voter ID. that’s the only soln.

在印度南部，我没见过火车被破坏的情况。没错，教育或许不能让一个邦在经济上强大起来，但至少能培养公民意识。必须强制实行直到12年级的英语授课教育，那些不接受这种教育的人就不给发放选民身份证。这是唯一的解决办法。

Railway station should start stay facility so that they can earn money

火车站应该开设住宿设施，这样就能增加收入。

The only 2 reason is Corruption & Problem hiding rather than problem solving.

Last time when Railway Minister tried to increase rail budget 3 RM's resigned, Railway ministry are lacking courage to take bold step

上次铁道部长想要增加铁路预算时，有三位铁路委员会成员辞职了，铁道部缺乏采取大胆举措的勇气。

Railway needs more multi tasking staffs than one department cadres which impacts it hugely by workforce management

铁路需要更多能身兼数职的员工，而不是单一部门的干部，这对人员管理影响很大。

There is no passenger comfort in the trains

火车上没有让乘客感到舒适的地方。
