Faced with a revenue shortfall, railway minister Mallikarjun Kharge will not bring about reduction in basic passenger fares in the interim budget on Wednesday but is likely to make adjustment in fuel adjustment component so that impact on fares is minimum in an election year.
Kharge is likely to announce more trains, new lines and better passenger amenities in the interim budget.
Railway ministry sources said it will be a growth-oriented budget and not a deficit one despite fall in earnings.
