The assessed impact of FAC-linked revision is as under:
1.Passenger Fares:
No increase in either Second Class Ordinary (Suburban) or Second Class MST fares;

Fares for Second Class Ordinary (Non-Suburban) would go up by a maximum of Rs.5/- in select distance slabs, while in the other distance slabs there would be no change in existing fares.

In all other classes, the revised fares would be only about 2% higher than the existing fare.

Anticipated incremental earning would be around Rs.450/- crore in the balance six months of the financial year.
