Evolution Of Indian Railway’s Fare Structure
Historical background :
In 1844, British East India Company submitted proposals for the construction of a Railway in India. As
the resources of E. I. Company were not adequate to finance the construction of Railway lines, they
encouraged private companies in England to invest for the same. A guaranteed 5% dividend on the capital
and free of cost land was offered. Thus the Great Indian Peninsular Railway Company came into
existence on 15.07.1844. And the first train performed journey on 16.04.1853 with 14 carriages carrying
400 guests from Boribunder to Thana of 33 kms. In South India, the first line was opened on 18.07.1856
between Vyasarpadi and Walajah Road, a distance of 101 kms. It was Lord Dulhousie who linked the
principal cities of India with major ports, is responsible for construction of more than 5000 miles of rail
lines in India.The Construction of rail lines was on the patter best suited to serve the British commercial
interest in the matter of moving raw materials for export to the manufacturing plants in cities like
Manchester of Britain. In addition it was used for the movement of troops at times of war and for the
movement of food grains to the famine affected areas.
By 1858 – 59, there were three railway companies operating in India. Their separate fare structure for
three classes of travel was as follows (Rate in paises per mile) :
Class
G.I.P
E.I.Rly
Madras Rly
First
18 paise
18 paise
18 paise
Second
6 paise
9 paise
6 paise
Third
3 paise
3 paise
2 paise
To protect the interest of public against monopolistic exploitation by company railways, Maximum limits
for passenger fares were fixed by the Government from 1865 onwards. The maximum limits varied
from 18 paise per mile to 24 paise per mile in first class, from 5 paise per mile to 12 paise per mile in
second class and from 2 paise per mile to 8 paise per mile in the third class for different railway
companies.
By 1870, eleven railway companies were in operation and a new class of travel called ‘Fourth Class’ or
‘Coolie class’ was introduced on some Railways. The rates of fares quoted on ‘per mile’ basis were as
follows:
Class
G.I.P
E.B.Rly
O & R Rly
First
18 paise
18 paise
18 paise
