7. SWOT
S

55% Revenue from catering and it is the only entity authorised to provide services like food, water, tickets
Completely debt free company in balance sheet and has cash
ROE 27% and ROCE 32%
Attracts heavy web traffic in Asia Pacific region – Revenue from Adv. (Other Income)
W
Dependent on Indian Railways
PSUs are not valued much eg - SBI,Coal India
Security of Data is not standard
O
New gen has disposable income so has tendency to spend more
likely to buy more travel packages and also if quality is improved then would favour IRCTC services
T
withdrawal of exclusive contracts / Government were to permit open competition will impact revenue badly
Pilot project where private players are running on some routes
If private investments are happening and public like it then a treat
Technology upgrades are likely investment in private
