🚨 Clarification: That “392 train” announcement was from October–November 2025, not 2025
- In October 2025, the Ministry of Railways approved 196 train pairs (392 festival special services) to run during October 20 to November 30, 2025, to handle high demand during festivals like Durga Puja, Dussehra, Diwali, and Chhath Puja. These ran at a capped speed of 55 km/h with special fares, and were purely seasonal.
- This was a one-time program during the COVID-related scheduling and has not been repeated or scheduled for 2025 as of now.
✅ Are Similar Festival Specials Planned for 2025?
- There’s no official announcement yet that 392 new special trains will run from October 20, 2025.
- However, it’s typical for Indian Railways to issue festival special train circulars in August–September each year, especially ahead of Durga Puja, Dussehra, Diwali, Chhath etc.
- These specials often include 100–300 train pairs, varying by demand, network load, and regional Zonal Railway decisions.
📌 What You Can Do Now:
- Plan with regular scheduled trains if you’re booking before mid‑August 2025. They are dependable with reserved classes and amenities.
- Keep an eye on IRCTC announcements or Zonal Railway press releases around mid‑August to September 2025. That’s when any new festival-specials would be notified.
- When the annual special timetable is published, I can help you track specific train routes (e.g., regional origin‑destination pairs) and check booking availability.
Would you like guidance on a specific festival route you’re interested in (e.g., Varanasi to Patna or Mumbai to Jharkhand), so I can monitor for a potential special train in 2025? Or help checking availability on regular services?
