- Second Class: No increase for journeys up to 500 km; beyond that:
- ₹5 extra: 501–1500 km
- ₹10 extra: 1501–2500 km

Additional Insight
- Union Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw described the revision as highly minimal—ranging from 0.5 to 2 paisa per km—aimed at maintaining fare affordability while sustaining subsidies (approx. ₹60,466 crore, or 45% subsidy in FY 2025–24)
- This fare hike marks the first national fare revision since the COVID-19 pandemic, and one of the smallest in recent years
