Antyodaya Express Fare Table 2025-23

Antyodaya Express Fare Table 2025-20

Here’s the updated fare structure for Antyodaya Express trains—the completely unreserved, Superfast general-class trains—from the official railway guidelines and recent data:


Official Fare Structure (As per Commercial Circular No. 19 of 2017)

Indian Railways introduced a special fare structure for Antyodaya Express. The key point:

  • The base fare for unreserved second-class travel on Antyodaya Express is 15% higher than that of standard unreserved second-class fares on Mail/Express trains.
  • All other charges like the superfast surcharge, mela surcharge, etc., apply separately.
  • Example: If the fare on a regular Mail/Express unreserved train is ₹382 (basic fare ₹367 + superfast surcharge ₹15), the equivalent fare on an Antyodaya Express would be ₹437 (basic fare ₹422 + the same superfast surcharge ₹15).

Fare Table Examples from Specific Routes

Here are a few sample fares, giving real-world fare estimates:

Route Total Fare (General Unreserved)
Farrukhabad → Surat (Antyodaya) ₹395 (Breakdown: base ₹365 + res ₹15 + superfast ₹15)
Ernakulam ↔ Howrah (Howrah–Ernakulam Antyodaya Express) ₹575
Santragachi → Tambaram ₹375

These fares reflect the 15% premium over regular unreserved tickets, plus the applicable surcharges.


Fare Revision Note – July 2025

Indian Railways implemented a minimal fare increase effective July 1, 2025:

  • Unreserved (General) fares for journeys of up to 500 km: no increase
  • Beyond 500 km: +0.5 paisa per km
  • AC classes: increased by 2 paisa per km
