The A1 criteria was changing regularly
Last time it was ₹75 Cr then ₹100 Cr(if i am not wrong)
Putting Footfall in this was most tricky clause as it was introduced to help Suburban stations who gets very less revenue but very high footfall.
A station serving whole India passengers remained in Cat2
The...
more... motive is quite visible !
Furthermore keeping ₹500 Cr is also very high mark Naturally only state capitals get Lions share on the name of state no matter from where passenger comes to board.
Patna is one of the best example .
please wait...Translate to EnglishThe A1 criteria was changing all the time. Last time it was ₹75 Cr and then ₹100 Cr (if I remember correctly). The trickiest part was including Footfall in the criteria. It was added to benefit suburban stations that don't make much money but have a lot of people coming through. And even though a station serves passengers from all over India, it remains in Category 2. The motive behind all this is pretty obvious! Also, setting the bar at ₹500 Cr is too high. Naturally, only state capitals get the most attention and funding, no matter where passengers are from. Patna is a perfect example of that.
please wait...Translate to HindiThe A1 criteria regularly badal rahi thi
Pichli baar ₹75 Crore tha phir ₹100 Crore (agar main galat nahi hun)
Footfall iss mein sabse tricky clause tha, ye Suburban stations ki madad karne ke liye introduce hua tha jahan par kam revenue hai lekin bahot zyada footfall hota hai.
Poora Bharat ke passengers ko serve karne wale stations abhi bhi Cat2 mein hai
Motive kaafi dikh raha hai!
Saath hi ₹500 Crore bhi bahot high mark hai, naturally sirf state capitals ko zyada hissa milta hai, state ke naam par, chahe passenger kahin se bhi board kare.
Patna ek sabse accha example hai.
