Duronto Express Fare Table 2025-20

Here’s a comprehensive breakdown of the Duronto Express fare structure in the 2025 revision (often referred to as “2025-23” in your query):

Fare Revision Highlights (Effective from 1 July 2025)

Indian Railways implemented fare rationalization across all train categories—including Duronto Express—starting 1st July 2025. The key fare adjustments are:

Mail/Express (Non-AC): Increase of 1 paise per km
AC Classes (Duronto included): Increase of 2 paise per km
Other Ancillary Charges: Reservation fee, superfast surcharge, GST—unchanged

So for a 1,000 km journey, the fare would increase by approximately ₹20 for AC class.

Duronto Express Fare Table – Non-AC Chair Car (Long Distance)

Duronto trains with Non-AC Chair Car coaches previously only had fare slabs up to 1,000 km. Now, as per Commercial Circular No. 06/2025 (dated 28 July 2025), a fare structure has been defined for distances above 1,000 km as well—applicable to Select Duronto routes

Fares climb progressively with additional distance—e.g., on routes ~1,900 km long (e.g., Howrah → Bengaluru), the Non-AC Chair Car fare is approximately ₹792.
On top of that, starting 1 July 2025, an additional 1 paise/km increase applies, so for 1,900 km, that’s roughly ₹19 extra.
