Abstract

Indian railway is a popular mode of transport in India. It provides comfortable journey to every class of people. It is very helpful in transferring heavy & large materials like jute, cement, petroleum etc. from one part of the country to another part. This research paper measures inter temporal growth and performance of Indian railways for the period of five years from 2013-14 to 2017-18 through exponential growth rate mechanism. The study is entirely based on secondary data that is collected from annual reports of Indian railway. In this paper it was found that growth of Indian railways is satisfactory for total investment, total capital, number of passengers originating, number of stations etc. but net revenue receipts and number of employees employed are showing negative growth. Findings of this study will help Indian railways in the process of decision making.

Keywords: Indian railways, growth, exponential growth rate
