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.
