      abstract = {A large number of technological advancements have taken  place on Indian Railways in recent times. Technological  changes resulting in fuel and labor efficiency increase  productivity and thereby reduce the cost of production on  Indian Railways.
To assess the productivity performance on  Indian Railways, two outputs and three inputs are  considered for the period from 1981-82 to 2002-03. During  this period, there was large structural change in capital  stocks, especially with respect to rolling stock and  equipment. Embodied new technology in terms of diesel and  electric engines was added. The study clearly shows that  technological progress must have been a very important  factor leading to higher productivity.},
