As we talk about Indian railways, we have seen vast differences in the recent few years. Indian railways are increasing their wings and have tremendously improved in all aspects such as from booking tickets to the quality of food. Whereas, Indian Railways travelers or passengers always look forward to a faster and more comfortable. However, as we talk our railway board has got a lot of private trains in recent years, and also they are working more with private participants to come up with a new set of tenders for private train operations. Indian Railways has declared an enterprising proposal to launch a private trains project, called ‘Bharat Gaurav’. Indian Railways now plans to invite proposals from private sector players, who will run over 150 passenger trains from the fiscal year 2022-23.
However, Piyush Goyal Indian Railways has taken the necessary step of inviting a Rs 30,000 crore mega private trains project. The current trains that will be stimulated by the private sector will be under the Make in India initiative. Qualified in attaining 160 mph speeds. The private trains on any route will at the highest take the same time as the fastest Indian Railways train. Therefore, Indian Railways has divided the paths for private trains into 12 clusters. But in this blog, we will give you information about 3 clusters and the names of the train, and the hours to reach the destination. However, Traveler Food always tried to include and share through their blogs about Indian Railways, food on train and what to eat while traveling, etc. Do stay connected with us through our blogs.
