Great Useful
Sharing some important information in regards to catering on trains on Indian Railways:

1. You may check the complete details of the catering providers on each train along with the contract period, contract cost, etc: click here

Note:
...
more...
Some trains might not be included in this list and they might have E-Catering by IRCTC itself.

2. The rates of food items of each category of trains can be found from the following link. Keep this handy to avoid overcharging: click here

P.S: I was shocked looking at some of the license fees charged by IRCTC. Eg. The Total License Fees for providing catering services on 12051 and 12052 CSMT MAO CSMT Janshatabdi Express is a whopping amount of 33,28,780 (almost 33.5 Lakhs) along with a security deposit of 99,863 (almost 1 Lakh).

The Licensing Fees comes to around 22000 INR per day and effectively 11000 INR per trip. You may check for other trains too.

How did I know: From the amazing tool called Right To Information (RTI) Request.

Vivek

Please take some time to read this.
Guys, just wanted to share something. Not quite related to IR. However it's important.

Just moved to Pune a few weeks ago for employment. Got the cheapest flat I could find because I wanted to save as much as I can considering the current hardships.
So
...
more...
the flat is 7 km away from my office but the public transport situation is very bad in Pune.
One of my ofiicers told me that Bajaj was very influential in earlier days of Pune and he was the reason the Public transport never improved here when everywhere else it was improving. The company didn't want it to improve so that it can sell more 2 wheelers. The worst part is that it was able to do that with so much ease. That is why Punekars are suffering. Every big city should have a very efficient public transport system so that it can run smoothly but greed of a corporate entity causes so many to suffer
So when people say it's okay that railways is getting privatized, it's not. Private companies doesn't care for anyone, only for their profit.

#IndianRailways
#Privatization

Can you assure that companies do not keep public welfare at the last of their priorities list?
We are entering the purest form of Capitalism and I wish us best of luck going forward.

    These days, every other day, we are getting requests from members to allow email login to their FB-based IRI account. 10 years ago, we had given the option for users to login through FaceBook - in retrospect, this was a mistake. These days, apparently, users are quitting FaceBook in droves because...
