How Indian Railways and Government gets thousands of Crores when it comes to publicity but then cries that it's facing loss due to non-AC passengers

Today only 136 seats have been booked in Indore - Bhopal Vande Bharat
If we multiply it by 810, which is the cost of end to end ticket of this VB
We
...
more...
get approximately 1 Lakh 10 Thousands Rupees ONLY!

Now let's take the example of Sampoorna Kranti

It has 3 General coaches
And I'm pretty sure atleast 500 people would be travelling in those general coaches if not more
Cost of PNBE - NDLS - 290
500 × 290 = nearly 1.5 Lakh

Edit (as everyone objected about distance difference)

Varanasi - Lucknow Shuttle superfast express has 1300 General seats and it runs full.

And even if we take only 1000 general seats in consideration

The revenue made by shuttle will be 1000 × 120 = 1 Lakh 20 thousand rupees. Again to remind you it has 6 CC too which I'm not counting.

Fair comparison?

Loss loss rone wale log kahan gaye?? MP me election tha to bina soche samjhe wahan 2 VB chala di. Dono white elephant, total flop
Ye loss nahi kar rahi? Politics ki baat aati hai to Croro aa jate hai. I'm pretty sure if we combine everything (things like operating cost etc etc)
All the three latest VB are causing much more loss than UR coaches of Superfast trains.
Mind you one thing, I've only taken 3 general coaches out of a train and haven't even taken sleeper in consideration.

Bhopal Indore VB runs 246 kms and can earn 588 * 810 - 4.8 lakhs. PNBE NDLS SK can earn 12 lakhs by running 1000 kms. So VB has more earning potential. Mumbai - NDLS earns around 30 lakhs for running 1380 kms. So typical mail /express trains earn only 6 lakhs. Indian railways has to operate all types of trains to cater to customer needs. We only have to find suitable routes for VB trains and bhopal - indore VB may get extended or combined with bhopal - jabalpur to make it viable and get 100 percent occupancy like other VB trains.

That is not true.

A fully filled Premium train during Festive season is Best for Revenue Generation. Nearly all seats in Festive season is filled up, Several seats during last few days.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
