Indian Railways achieved punctuality of 78% for Mail/Express trains on terminating basis during 01.04.2015 to 30.11.2015.

Trains get delayed on Indian Railways owing to capacity constraints on account  of  increasing  passenger  and  freight  traffic,  accidents,  planned blocks  for  executing  capacity  enhancement  works  &  construction  of  low height subways, ROBs, RUBs, etc. as well as due to factors not in control of the  Railways,  such  as    adverse  weather  conditions  (fog,  rains,  breaches), intermittent natural calamities such as floods, cyclones, heavy rains, heavy road  traffic  at    level  crossing  gates  across  the  Indian  Railways  network, multi faceted law and order problems, including public agitations and bandh calls in left wing extremism affected and other areas, miscreant activities such as theft of Railway assets, mid-section run over cases involving cattle and humans, etc. (d)  To  improve  commutable  condition  of  ordinary  coaches  and  ordinary passenger trains, following steps have been taken:

- Provision of cushioned seats and berths in second class sitting coaches. -Introduction  of  Linke  Hofnamm  Busch  type  second  class  coaches  in  Mail and Express trains. -Introduction of separate compartment for persons with Disability in second class-cum-luggage-cum-guard van coach (SLRD). -Introduction  of  toilet  facility  in  new  manufacture  DEMU  (Diesel  Electrical

With a view to make dedicated efforts towards station development,  Indian  Railway  Stations  Development  Corporation  Ltd. (IRSDC) was set up in 2012 and has been entrusted with redevelopment of  seven  stations  viz.,  Anand  Vihar,  Bijwasan,  Chandigarh,  Habibganj (Bhopal), Shivaji Nagar (Pune), Surat, SAS Nagar (Mohali).  In addition, one station viz., Gandhinagar has been entrusted to Rail Land Development Authority (RLDA) for redevelopment.

Further,  to  expand  the  scope  of  station  redevelopment  in  a  big way, it has been decided to offer 'A-1' and 'A' category stations (about 400  stations)  which  are  generally  located  in  metros,  major  cities, pilgrimage centres & important tourist destinations, for redevelopment on 'as is where is' basis by inviting open bids from interested parties with their designs and business ideas.

Though Railways have been making sustained efforts towards  expediting  various  issues,  it  is,  however,  not  possible  to provide time limit at this stage for completion of these projects.
