The Railway Ministry is preparing to increase the fare of AC and non-AC classes in mail/express trains from July 1, 2025. According to officials, fares can be increased by 1 paisa in non-AC (sleeper, second seating etc.) categories and 2 paisa per kilometer in all AC classes.
A railway official said in the matter, this increase will be the lowest as compared to the previous fare hike in 2020 and 2013. While there will be a slight increase in sleeper class journeys.
The fare of non-AC class in mail/express trains will be increased by 1 paisa per kilometer. The fare of all AC classes (AC first, second, third) will increase by 2 paisa per kilometer. There
will be no increase up to 500 km. It can be increased by half a paisa per kilometer for a distance of more than 500 km. At the same time, the fare of suburban trains will not increase considering the convenience of monthly passes and daily travelers.
