IRCTC is the offered a monopolistic opportunity in online rail ticketing, sale of Packaged Drinking Water (PDW) and catering services (in Train as well as 600 stations) for Indian Railways. Contrary to most other monopolistic plays, IRCTC assures low pricing and high quality experience for its customer base. The ticketing business operational prowess has been proven as it has achieved massive 73% penetration in FY20 on internet booking (during Pandemic 90%+). Its PDW brand (Rail-Neer) sells water cheaper by 33% compared to other branded alternatives. Catering business exclusivity ensures quality, pricing and availability to travelers.

IRCTC is a Low risk business model:

As an administrative agency, IRCTC charges fixed mark-up or license fee to its third-party vendors in catering, PDW, hospitality segment and pass on IR their due share, based on predetermined ratio. In the Catering business, it clocked Revenue of about Rs. 10.4Bn in FY20 with near zero-risk on demand or food inflation as it outsources it to contractors. Rail-Neer profitability is healthy at 19% as IRCTC has confirmed demand; no marketing spends and scale advantage (lead distance on distribution to reduce). Tourism biz has a fixed mark-up on aggregation and leverages its IRCTC brand and portal for leads, saving on marketing spends. In the ticketing business there is complete exclusivity for IRCTC. The only risky business is that of being a Train Operator (13% of rev) that functions on occupancy risk.
