Railway finances are closely linked to the role that has been traditionally assigned to the railway system in the development of the Indian Economy. But given a mandate of performance on commercial lines in a liberalised economic policy framework, the railways have been required to depend mainly on internal resource generation for funding maintenance and expansion of the network. However, an alternative approach, which could have served as a basis to operationalise strategies to launch the railways onto such a process, has not been put in place. This paper examines an understanding of the problems and constraints which the railways encounter in their efforts to fit into the new economic policy framework.

A scrutiny of the financial performance of State Road Transport Undertakings in India in the past decade reveals a trend of increasing losses which could be partly attributed to inefficiency and partly to uncompensated burden of social obligations and constraints in the external operating environment. Analytical exercises involving physical and financial parameters have pointed out the need for better vehicle utilisation (in terms of the load factor) and an effective fare strategy in order to set the organisations on a long-term viable growth path. However, this needs to be accompanied by a process of 'major systemic' reforms in terms of the policy guidelines imposed on these Undertakings.- An Approach to a National Urban Transport Policy Framework for India

Over the last two decades, rapid population growth and spatial expansion has led to a sharp increase in demand for urban transport facilities and services in many cities in India especially the metropolitan ones which have attracted significant investments in high-technology industries thanks to a competitive and highly qualified workforce. Given this situation, it is well recognised that efficient and reliable urban transport systems are crucial for India to sustain a high growth rate. But several factors mostly inadequate and faulty policy initiatives have hindered the adequate and timely provision of services. In this paper, an attempt is made to propose an appropriate policy framework that needs to be in place to initiate and encourage useful solutions to tackle the urban transport problem in the Indian context.- From the New Editor

Taking over as Editor of the Journal of the Indian School of Political Economy does give me frightening thoughts especially whenvery distinguished people have precededmein this position. I am very apprehensive at this moment on being comfortable in this position. But I am convinced that I could be a useful and continuing part of the experiment of the School to disseminate analytical studies on current developmental issues but one that is an inter-disciplinary one covering the disciplines of economics, political science and sociology.- Emerging Challenges for Urban Transformation in India with Particular Reference to the Transport Sector

The urbanisation process has been quite rapid all across the world in the past several decades resulting in high rates of growth of economies while, at the same time, being accompanied by severe problems of inadequate housing and other infrastructural facilities like transport, water supply, etc. Even in a developing country like India, issues arising out of urban growth and thereby urban transformation are assuming great significance. In this paper, we examine the various issues that have been thrown up in India in the past as a result of transformation of economies into urban ones and the challenges that are currently being faced especially in the context of provision of transport services in the course of attempts being made in cities to be made more smart and live able by way of an adequate level of delivered public services which are required to support a good and reasonable quality of life for everyone who resides there.Keywords
