Practically, private players have no relation with punctuality. Punctuality depends on controllers who control the train on tracks. Private players cannot be made responsible for punctuality.

Because of security reasons and also to maintain the whole railway setup, Controlling needs to be kept in the hands of Indian Railways, because private players ftom India as well as Global are involved in this package, so u cannot leave Controlling in the hands of private players. Also, since in IR both government and private players will run trains, so leaving Controlling in the hands of private players with destroy the balance between govt trains and different private companies and also will create chaos. Also, politics is also involved in IR so leaving Controlling in the hands of private players will have regional political influences also more.
I still believe, running private trains in India is

never going to be a profitable. A country where a huge population is middle class and below middle class, how can a costly private train travel with travel time just few hours lesser than Govt runned trains can be profitable. Airlines are favoured by people because travel time is very less compared to trains, but this will not happen in trains. It is i believe a poor strategy by government. I think those private players who have opted out of this pkg has done a clever job.
In India you cannot maintain 160kmph end-to-end because of its geography, culture and habits which vary from one place to another and also population is higher here.

In many countries, railways have been successfully run by private organisations after de nationalisation of railways, for eg, UK, France.

In the USA, bulk of passenger traffic is handled by Amtrak, but it is a PSU.

you expect private players to maintain the same level of operations, then NO, it would not be enough to run all services profitably. Infact, many services would be culled for want of profitability or be subsidised by govt, which would defeat the whole purpose.

Then there is always fear of crony capitalists taking advantage of the system, govt as such always behaves like a toothless tiger.

Some middle ground will need to be achieved or else, we can all keep mum on this and suffer the travesty which IR doles out in the name of service.
