Here’s the latest fare structure for Rajdhani Express (and other premium Mail/Express trains) in 2025, inclusive of the minor fare revision effective 1 July 2025:
Contents
1. Fare Hike Details (Effective 1 July 2025)
- Mail/Express non-AC classes (Sleeper, 3-tier Economy): +₹0.01 per km
- AC classes (AC 3A, 2A, 1A / Executive): +₹0.02 per km
- AC Chair Car, when applicable (e.g., Tejas-Rajdhani): +₹0.02 per km
- No increase for journeys up to 500 km in ordinary non-AC class; limited flat hikes apply beyond (₹5–₹15 depending on distance)
- Ancillary charges (reservation fee, superfast surcharge, catering, GST) remain unchanged
2. Fare Formula (Post-Revision)
New Basic Fare = Old Basic Fare + (Distance × Fare Hike per km)
Where:
- Fare Hike = ₹0.02/km for AC classes
- Fare Hike = ₹0.01/km for sleeper / non-AC classes
Additional charges apply afterward:
- Reservation fee (~₹40–75 depending on distance/class)
- Superfast surcharge
- Catering charges (optional choice in Rajdhani)
- 5% GST on total fare plus ancillaries
3. Example Estimate
Assume a 1,500 km journey in AC 3-tier (3A) on a Rajdhani:
- Pre-revision base fare estimate: Approx ₹1,650
- Fare hike component: 1,500 km × ₹0.02 = ₹30
- Revised base fare: ₹1,680
Plus:
- Reservation charge (~₹60)
- Superfast surcharge (~₹40)
- Catering (optional ₹400–₹800 for full board)
- 5% GST
So total fare ≈ ₹1,680 + ₹60 + ₹40 + ₹400–800 (if opted) + GST
4. Summary Table
| Class | Fare Hike (₹/km) | Applies To |
|---|---|---|
| AC 1A / 2A / 3A | ₹0.02 | Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Duronto, Vande Bharat… |
| AC Chair Car | ₹0.02 | Tejas‑Rajdhani and premium chair‑car trains |
| Sleeper / Non‑AC | ₹0.01 | Mail/Express sleeper, 3-tier economy |
- Train-types affected: All premium trains including Rajdhani Express, Duronto, Shatabdi, Vande Bharat, Tejas, Gatimaan, Humsafar, Amrit Bharat, Mahamana etc.
Other Considerations
- *Dynamic pricing: Many Rajdhani trains now use a dynamic fare component—ticket price may increase based on availability. Early booking helps avoid higher fares
- *Meal charges: Optional. As per user feedback, a full meal package for two in Rajdhani costs around ₹800; lunch/dinner ~₹185 each per person. You can deselect it during booking if you bring your own food
Planning Help
I can assist with:
- Fare estimates for specific Rajdhani routes (e.g., Howrah–New Delhi, Ranchi–Delhi, Mumbai–Delhi etc.)
- Full breakdown with catering, reservation, GST
- Comparison with other classes like 2A or premium trains on same route
Just let me know the route and class and I’ll calculate quickly!
