- The Mahamana Express fares are set at 15% higher than regular Mail/Express base fares, reflecting the enhanced onboard amenities and modern coach designs.
Sample Fare Breakdown – Varanasi ⇄ New Delhi (Train No. 22417)
Detailed fares per class (inclusive of reservation fee, superfast surcharge, and GST):

Fare Update (Effective July 1, 2025)
- A fare hike of ₹0.02 per km applies to all AC classes of premium trains, including Mahamana Express.
- For a journey spanning 774 km (Varanasi to Delhi), this translates to an additional ₹15–₹16 added to the base fare.
