Pakistan Railways (PR) has allocated a total of Rs. 22 billion under the Public Sector Development Programme (PSDP) for the fiscal year 2025–26 to improve infrastructure, rolling stock, and overall service quality.
Of this, Rs12 billion will be used for the repair, maintenance, and rehabilitation of railway tracks, signaling, and communication systems. An additional Rs10 billion has been set aside for the maintenance of rolling stock and other improvement schemes.
Alongside infrastructure upgrades, the department is reporting strong financial performance. In July, PR earned a record-breaking Rs. 7.48 billion in revenue—Rs. 1.46 billion higher than the same month last fiscal year.
The achievement comes as the railways continues to reduce its dependency on federal funding, financing most operational upgrades through internally generated revenue.
PR has focused on critical areas like the Sukkur division, where decaying tracks once posed a major risk. Recent rehabilitation efforts have significantly reduced derailments and enhanced safety. Investments have also modernized key stations with escalators, upgraded washrooms, dining facilities, and onboard WiFi.
By the end of the current fiscal year, PR expects to cross the Rs. 100 billion revenue mark. In 2024–25, PR earned Rs. 93 billion, with Karachi division leading in both passenger and freight revenue. These developments indicate a strong trajectory for Pakistan Railways in both performance and service delivery.

Very encouraging that railway revenue earning showing upward trend. Still not possible to make railway profitable organization. Considering the comfort and valuable service it provides to masses these losses are acceptable.
Improve track and safety systems. Try to minimize losses. Make freight train attractive to manufacturers. Reduce transit time and adversaries. I know how important for manufacturer of exports goods is to meet timely despatch of goods and catch vessel
Try to enhance capacity of manufacturing of local bogies and start building engines. If we can build aircrafts why can’t railway engines. Keep it up.
BRITISH GIVEN IDEAL RAILWAY INFRASTRUCTURE THAT IS WORKING MORE THAN A CENTURY.
CAN THIS TREND CONTINUE WITH HELP OF CHINA WHICH IS CHEAP AND MODERN.
BUT DIRE NEED IS FIRST MAKE CENTURY PLANNING SO THAT NO SETBACKS FOR WORKS.
MEAN DON’T HURRY, DON’T HURRY IN PLANNING,OTHERWISE SOMETIME IRREVERSIBLE LOSSES OCCUR.
SO MOTTO IS.
NEVER HURRY IN IDEAL AND FOOLPROOF PLANNING FOR AT LEAST 100 YEARS PLANNING, KEEPING IN VIEW POPULATION GROWTH RATIO WHICH IS THE CENTRAL PIVOT FOR ANY REALISTIC PLANNING.
HASTE ALWAYS MAKES WASTE AND MAY CREATE REPENTANCE FOR CENTURIES.

پاکستان کے اکثر محکموں کی طرح ریلوے نے بھی خسارہ ختم کرنے کا آسان حل مسافروں کے لئے کرائے میں اضافہ رکھا ہے۔ اب ریل کا سفر عام آدمی کے لیے مشکل ہو گیا ہے۔ اوپر سے ٹرینوں کا تاخیر سے آنا اور آئے روز حادثات ۔ حکام کو اس بارے سوچنا چاہیے
