Hi Rithika,

No answers on my end but sharing more avenues for looking

In case you haven't already, join up and post this query on the Indian rail 
fans forum: https://www.irfca.org/

Ideas:
- If we take a median / default assumption that all seats are occupied, 
then one can take the schedules and find out seats capacity in each train 
and calculate.
- After that, stats from under-capacity running trains would have to be 
deducted,
- and stats from over-capacity running trains would have to be added.

- ticketing data.. ?

Some links from general searches:
- http://www.dw.indianrail.gov.in/dw.asp - data warehouse. Seems like an 
internal site. Maybe somebody knows somebody who can login?
- https://data.gov.in/keywords/indian-railways - not so relevant to 
original question, but worth keeping a followthatpage 
<https://www.followthatpage.com/> watcher on.
- https://data.gov.in/catalog/indian-railways-train-time-table-0 - pretty 
big and important dataset of schedules, and updated fairly recently 
considering how dated other datasets are - also worth tracking
