APPROACH PAPER ON
FINANCIAL APPRAISAL
FRAMEWORK FOR RAILWAY
PROJECTS
Ministry of Railways
I. Background
Indian Railways Finance Code Volume 1 Chapter 2 provides for 3 methods of financial
appraisal of projects, i.e. 1. Accounting Rate of Return Method 2. Payback Period Method and
3. Discounted Cash Flow Method. On Indian Railways, as a matter of practice the Discounted
Cash Flow Method is being followed.
As per Para 201 of Finance Code Volume 1, expenditure other than that wholly chargeable to
Ordinary Revenue should be financially justified.
However, no financial justification as such needs be given in the following cases:
a) when the expenditure is incurred on a statutory obligation;
b) when the expenditure is unavoidable on considerations of safety;
c) when the expenditure is incurred on customer amenity works; and
d) when the expenditure is incurred on labour welfare works except residential buildings for
which special rules are applicable.
Proposals are financially appraised at DPR stage by the Zonal Railways. Financial Internal
Rate of Return is calculated by the Zonal Railways and vetted by the FA&CAO of the Zone.
At Board, the DPRs of the proposals forwarded by the Zones are reviewed by the EDs’
Committee.
During such reviews it was observed that different zones have calculated FIRR based on
different assumptions and methodology. This inhibited a meaningful and uniform appraisal of
the DPRs submitted by the Zonal Railways. Also, constant clarification had to be given to NITI
AYOG regarding the different methodologies and assumptions made by the Zonal Railways.
II. Review of practices followed by different zonal railways in preparation of
financial IRR:
DPRs of 15 Zonal Railways were reviewed and a brief compilation of differences in
assumptions/practices observed are given below:
1. Earning Growth factors: Some zones take YoY growth whereas some consider growth
factor every 5th year. Some zones consider no growth beyond 10th year whereas some
zones consider growth over life cycle of the project.
2. Expense growth factors: Zones consider between 2 to 5 Percent annual growth in expense
and hence there is no uniformity.
3. Interest during construction (IDC): In case of IDC very few railway zones consider it as
part of project cost.
4. Project cost: Some of the railway zones add escalation factor in the range of 5% to take
care of inflation during the construction period. The final cost so arrived is termed as
completion cost. However, it has also been seen that the final cost which is arrived is not
considered for the purpose of IRR calculation.
2
5. Replacement cost: Replacement cost has been considered by some zones and not by
others.
6. Detention saving: It is observed that some zones are considering capital cost of rolling
stock in addition to annual saving in detention time of wagon and engines. Also, some of
the zones are considering detention saving on account of passenger trains whereas some
are not.
7. Terminal value – Terminal value/residual value of the assets have been calculated
differently. Some zones calculate terminal value as a % of the asset value whereas some of
the zones calculate terminal value based on residual life of the asset.
A summary of the practice followed by various zones is captured in Annexure-1.
FIRR calculated based on arbitrary assumptions/ incorrect reference points, etc cannot be the
basis on which investment decisions can be made. And hence, the necessity to streamline
underlying assumptions which will lead to a standard methodology for calculating FIRR across
railway projects.
This approach paper provides standardized methodology and assumption basis to arrive at
FIRR. Further this methodology is applicable to linear project such as New Line, Doubling,
Gauge Conversion. Traffic Facility
In order to streamline the FIRR process an approach paper has been developed. The
methodology explained in the approach paper is based on the Finance Code issued by Indian
Railways and best practices followed by zonal railways.

III. Approach Paper
Non-Fare Revenue
A. Construction Phase
ii. Inflation: The project cost is generally arrived at the prevailing cost indices
whereas the construction period lasts for longer period. Accordingly, inflation
has to be factored in for the construction period. The WPI of a country captures
overall inflationary impact and hence it is assumed that the project cost with
WPI will give fair estimation. As a reference we have considered the Report on
Benchmarking for Cost Estimation of Metro Rail Projects, February 2019
published by Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs. An escalation of 5%
annually during the construction is recommended in the report. Accordingly, for
the projects being appraised presently the inflation rate is to be considered as
5%.
4
Inflation should be considered from the second year onwards. An illustration is
given below to explain the procedure for calculating escalation in cost due to
inflation.
Illustration:
Assuming the cost of the Project A Rs. 1000 Cr. basis prevailing rates as on
project inception date. Construction period is of 3 years. Project completion is
20%, 40% and 40% for first, second and third year respectively. Inflation rate-
5%.
The project cost with inflation to be considered for FIRR purpose should be:
Project Cost = CWIP *project progress* (1+WPI)^n
Where:
CWIP =Capital work in progress (Expenditure Incurred but asset not put to
use yet)
n = construction year
Project cost 1000
Inflation 5%
Year (n) Progress CWIP CWIP+Inflation
Year 1 20% 200 200.00
Year 2 40% 400 420.00
Year 3 40% 400 441.00
Total 1061.00
iii. Interest during construction – Project period generally spreads over 2-6 years.
As per note 1 of Para 204 of Finance Code prescribed the requirement of IDC
in a project cost Note- (1) Interest during construction should be added to the
cost (excluding that chargeable to Revenue) of the projects, the construction of
which is likely to last for more than one year.

Note:
CWIP- Capital work in progress [Work completed on the assets but not yet
Capitalised]
Capitalisation – Value of assets which are put to use/operations.
Opening CWIP - Closing CWIP of previous year
[illustration]
Assume a project is worth of Rs 1000 Cr. and construction period will last for
3 years. Estimated project progress for three years is 30%, 40% and 30% based
on cash flow. 30% of project asset put to use in second year and 70% in third
year. Cost of debt is 7%. What will be interest during construction?
iv. Rolling stock – In accordance with the Para 208 Finance Code Volume 1 if the
line capacity work is undertaken on account of increase in traffic and in case
there is a construction of new line then in such scenarios the project cost should
invariably include cost of rolling stock. Procurement of initial rolling stock
should be considered in the year of completion of the project. Requirement of
rolling stock should be aligned to traffic projections. The project should also
consider additional rolling stock as and when required to support projected
traffic. The cost of rolling stock should be based on latest accepted rates (LAR).
v. Credit from Rail Released Material- In case of Railway projects which are
brownfield in nature there are released material which lead to cash inflow to the
projects. Same should be considered as credit to the project. CRRM should be
shown separately while determining FIRR and should be considered in the year
of realization of money. The CRRM should be estimated by the respective
project team on best estimate basis.
6
B. Operation phase
The working expense related to goods and coaching are calculated on the basis
of the benchmark rates published by the statistic department of Railway Board
as part of latest available Annual statistical statement (ASS). These expenses
should be calculated as per Form 2a of Annexure 2 in case of goods and Form
2b of Annexure 2 in case of coaching. The expenses in following years should
be calculated by applying 5% YoY growth plus traffic triggers as assessed by
the team in accordance with para 244 of IRFC. The inflation target agreed
between GoI and RBI is 4% with a tolerance of +/- 2%. Considering the same,
inflation range is targeted between 2% and 6%. Considering inflation on
conservative side a 5% growth factor to account for inflation in expenses has
been considered.
The projects related to line capacity work leads to savings in detention time of
rolling stock. This saves cost of procurement of additional rolling stock.
Accordingly, these savings should be accounted for while appraising the
project. Saving should be calculated based on latest available Annual statistical
statement (ASS) as published by statistics department of Railway Board from
time to time. The calculation methodology as provided in Form 3a of
Annexure 2 should be followed while calculating detention saving in case of
Wagon and Form 3b of Annexure 2 in case of coaching. Saving should be
kept static for the life cycle of the project.
The assets deployed during the project have certain useful life. These assets are
7
expected to last for the stated useful life. Accordingly, the replacement of any
asset should be considered only on expiry of its useful life. For the purpose of
FIRR the average useful life of asset has been provided at Form 4 of Annexure
2. In case, where the traffic is expected to increase to the level which cannot be
handled with existing assets then in such scenario procurement of additional
asset can be considered. However, this should be well justified and documented
by Zonal Railway in accordance with Para 236 and Para 237 of the Indian
Railway Finance Code.
V. Non Fare Revenue
Indian Railways is exploring options to increase Non Fare Revenue. There are
various non-fare revenues which will also accrue due to new development in
the form of advertisement, rental income, retails etc. Estimation of potential for
Non Fare Revenue should be a part of the DPR submitted by Zonal Railways.
C. Terminal phase
ii. At the end of the project life cycle project cash flow considers the residual value
of the assets. The residual value of the asset should be the balance useful life of
the assets if available. Useful life of asset should be the in accordance with
useful life of the asset provided in Form 4 of Annexure 2. Following is the
basis of calculation of residual value:
[Illustration]
A bridge with steel work is wort of Rs 150 Cr. As per finance code the useful
life of the bridge is 60 years. We need to evaluate the residual value of the bridge
for the project life of 30 years.
(60 − 30)

IV. Conclusion
Following standard assumptions may be taken while calculating financial IRR. A Model FIRR
model in excel format is also shared along with this document.
1. Growth Factor: The YoY Growth factor for earning is considered 5% based on 30 year
historical CAGR of average earning from passenger and freight per KM. The growth factor
for expenditure purpose is 5%.
8
2. Interest During Construction: The Cost of debt for the purpose of IDC should be based
on the 10-Year G-Sec rate 1 (as published by RBI) prevailing as on 1st April of the
financial year in which the detailed project report is being prepared. Interest has to be
calculated only for projects funded through EBR/IF.
3. Project cost: The cash outgo for the project should factor in inflation, escalation, interest
etc. up to the date of completion. For the purpose of financial appraisal, the Date of
completion of the project should be 31st March of the financial year in which the project
is completed.
For example: if the project expected to complete on 30th Nov’2025 then date of completion
will be 31st March 2026 for the purpose of FIRR calculations.
4. Replacement cost: The assets should be replaced post completion of useful life and the
replacement cost should consider inflationary impact of the asset value if any.
5. Depreciation – Some of the DPR consider depreciation as cash outgo while computing
IRR. Depreciation is a non-cash item and should not be considered while arriving
discounted cash flow and IRR.
6. Detention saving: the detention saving needs to be calculated on account of goods as well
as passenger trains. The annual saving considers interest, repair & maintenance and
depreciation of the asset. Some of the DPR considers one-time capital cost of wagon &
engine. Since the annual saving considers the carrying cost of capital and depreciation
which replenish the asset, one-time cost saving should not be considered.
8. Time series: FIRR calculation should consider the cash flow for the period of construction
and 30 years of operations. The operation period of 30 years should commence from 1st
April of the year immediately after the financial year in which construction is completed.
[illustration]
One of the projects expected to start in Jul’23 having three year of construction period.
Following will be the time series for FIRR calculation:

6 2029 + Earnings/savings + CRRM if realized – working
expenses
… .. ..
33 2056 Earning/saving – working expenses + Terminal value
Note: Above table is for illustrative purpose only
9. Terminal value: Terminal value other than land, preliminary and earthwork/formation
should be based on useful life of assets and terminal value of land, preliminary and
earthwork/formation should be the actual cost incurred on these items. Terminal value of
replacement capex should also be considered while calculating FIRR based on residual
life. Useful life of assets for the purpose of FIRR can be considered as provided at Form-
4 of Annexure 2.
10. Reference rates: The calculation under FIRR calculation considers rates and references
from standard like Annual Statistical Statement (ASS), End result for Freight, End result
for coaching and All India Engine Hour Cost. The present model is based on Statistical
Data for the year 20-21. Same will require to be updated time to time depending
upon latest available Statistics published by the Board. For the particular item, All
India Average Figure should be considered and not the Zone Wise figure.
