Following the regular complaints by passengers and to promote e-catering activities, the Ministry of Railways has issued a rate card for the catering services on trains. This move has been taken to address the grievances of the passengers after complaints of beverages and food being overpriced on trains flooded on social media.
A conference was held on 21 March with an aim to devise a road-map under the new catering policy.
Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is the world’s fourth-largest network. But it fails to impress the travellers by the quality of its services. The Railways provide meals to about 11 lakhs passengers daily, and many enraged passengers have posted complaints about the catering services on social media and other portals available for grievance redressal.
The Logical Indian has been trying to create awareness on the prices of foods provided by IRCTC. You can read one of the articles: My Story: This Is How Caterers Are Scamming Passengers Travelling In Indian Railway.
The rate card has been posted on Twitter account of the Railways where they have also urged the passengers to lodge a complaint if they are overcharged. The rate card will reduce the discrepancies between the rates being charged to the customers and the actual prices.
The tweet said:
Know the rate list of @IRCATERING in the case of any discrepancies must report to @RailMinIndia: We work for you 24×7 (sic),”

A standard non-veg meal will cost Rs 55, and a vegetarian food will cost Rs 50. Breakfast will be priced at Rs 30 and 35 respectively. The IRCTC will also ensure that the food served is freshly cooked, a maximum of two hours before being served.
