Rajdhani Express Fare Table 2025-20

Here’s a refined overview of the Rajdhani Express fare structure (“2025–23” period), including recent updates and how pricing works:

1. Fare Hike Effective 1 July 2025

  • AC Classes (Mail/Express, including Rajdhani) now feature an increased base fare of +2 paise per kilometre.
  • Other charges like reservation fees, superfast surcharges, catering, and GST remain unchanged.

Example:

  • Howrah–New Delhi Rajdhani:
    • 3A fare increased from ₹3,020 to ₹3,065 (₹45 hike)
    • 2A from ₹4,140 to ₹4,180 (₹40 hike)
    • 1A from ₹5,155 to ₹5,185 (₹30 hike)
  • Mumbai CSMT–New Delhi Rajdhani:
    • 3A from ₹3,135 to ₹3,180 (+₹45)
    • 2A jumped sharply from ₹4,140 to ₹4,340 (+₹200)
    • 1A rose from ₹5,155 to ₹5,390 (+₹235)

2. Dynamic Pricing (Flexi Fare System)

  • Rajdhani trains follow a flexi fare model, where the base fare increases by 10% for every 10% of seats sold, capped at:
    • 1.5× base fare for 2A, SL, 2S classes
    • 1.4× for 3A
  • This doesn’t apply to 1A and Executive Class (EC) fares.

3. Optional Catering Charges

  • Rajdhani tickets usually include catering as part of the fare, unless deselected during booking.
  • Additional meals (e.g., for two people) were reported at roughly ₹800—indicating significant per-meal pricing beyond standard inclusion.
