据印度铁路1985～1986年财政年度预算,全部旅客运价拟提高12.5％,货物运价提高10％,这是由于运营支出增长所决定的(预计运营支出将达到562亿卢比,折合43.4亿美元)。提高运价每年可增加运输收入49.5亿卢比,这就有可能为改善一系列线路项目提供拨款。 According to the budget of the Indian Railways for the fiscal year 1985 to 1986, the overall tariff of all passengers will be increased by 12.5% ​​and the freight rate of goods will be increased by 10% due to the increase of operating expenses (estimated operating expenses will reach 56.2 billion rupees, equivalent to 4.34 billion U.S. dollars ). Increasing the freight rate will increase transportation revenue by Rs 4.95 billion annually, which makes it possible to allocate funds to improve a series of line projects.
