Indian railway is continuously making efforts towards safe, comfortable & affordable passenger travel as well as faster, hassle free and price competitive freight traffic movements.

These prime objectives are dependent on many important parameters and activities and overall goal can only be achieved with optimum growth and improvement in all parameters.

To monitor these complex, interdependent and numerus performance parameters, Railway board has devised Key Performance Indicator (KPI) for Zonal railways and for the divisions.

Under this KPI concept a MOU signed between Railway Board and respective Zonal railway based on mutually agreed performance targets and similar arrangement is done between Zonal Railway and division based on mutual consent on achievable objectives in a particular financial year.

Business and Financial Performance- Totalrevenue, sundry earnings, originating loading , originating passenger traffic etc. Mobility, Throughput and Capacity Utilization-Average interchange of Trains, NTKM, Wagon Turnaround, removal of permanent speed restrictions, average speed of trains etc.

Asset Reliability - Signal Failure Nos., Rail Failures Nos., Weld Failures Nos., Electric Loco Failure Nos., Diesel Loco Failure Nos., OHE Failures Nos., Coach Detachment.

Punctuality Performance of Mail Express- Automatic computerized data of PAM is taken.

Above 05 key performance indicators are monitored very closely by Divisions, Zonal railways and Railway board and KPI score of all 68 divisions on Indian Railways is published every month which provide opportunity to asses overall development of the division as well as a tool to address area of concern.
