STATEMENT  REFERRED  TO  IN  REPLY  TO  PARTS  (a)  TO  (f)  OF UNSTARRED QUESTION NO.3968 BY SHRI SUNIL KUMAR SINGH TO REGARDING

BE ANSWERED IN LOK SABHA ON 17.07.2019 ALLOCATION OF FUNDS

(a)  &  (b)  :    There  are  no  schemes  being  run  by  Indian  Railways. Instead  there  are  projects  being  executed  under  different  zones. The  budgeting  units  of  Indian  Railways  are  seventeen  zones  and eight  Production  Units.    Railway  Budget  is  therefore  prepared Railway zone wise and not State/Division wise. Zone-wise details of funds allocated as Capital Expenditure during the last three years, is appended as AppendixI and zone-wise Gross Traffic Receipt for the last three years, is appended as AppendixII . (c) to (f) : Ministry of Railways does not allocate funds to States for expenditure.  Further, as far as Railway zones are concerned, there is  no  co-relation  between  earning  and  investment  in  a  zone. Investments are basically capital expenditure on sanctioned works/projects  which  are  purely  on  operational  and  functional necessity. All zones  of Indian Railways, for reasons  of their geographical  location,  state  of  industrialisation  /  commercial  / business  activity, are not placed  evenly  in respect  of traffic earnings whereas investments are required to be made in each zone to enhance the operational and functional capabilities of the system and also to expand the network.
