Indian Railways Tariff Authority

The Indian Railways Tariff Authority is a government body that advises the Ministry of Railways on setting fair and reasonable fares for train services. Its role is to ensure that passenger and freight charges are balanced to provide affordable travel, cover operational costs, and support railway development. The Authority reviews proposals, examines market conditions, and recommends tariff policies to maintain financial sustainability while serving public interest. It acts as an independent regulator, promoting transparency and fairness in the railway pricing system.
