Tirupati Train: Indian Railways has recently changed the ticket rules for Amrit Bharat Express trains. 12 Amrit Bharat Express trains starting from January 2026 will not have RAC tickets. The important train in this list is the Thiruvananthapuram North-Charlapalli Amrit Bharat Express. This train travels via Renigunta Junction, which is close to the Tirupati shrine.

This route is mostly used by devotees going to Tirumala from southern states including Kerala and Tamil Nadu. There will no longer be RAC tickets in this train. The ticket will be confirmed only if the berth is vacant for the passengers. Otherwise, it will not be. However, the lack of RAC facility is likely to become a problem for devotees who book tickets at the last minute. Hence, it is advisable for those planning to travel on Amrit Bharat Express trains, especially those going to popular places like Tirupati, to book tickets in advance.

The Amrit Bharat Express trains, introduced in 2023, are designed to bridge the gap between regular Mail Express trains and premium services like Vande Bharat. These trains aim to provide better amenities, advanced safety features, and better travel comfort at lower fares. They are designed to be especially useful for low-income and lower middle class passengers. But as per the latest policy, only those with fully confirmed tickets will be able to board these trains.

The official notification issued by the Railway Board has stated that there will be no possibility of RAC tickets in Amrit Bharat II Express trains introduced from January 2026 or later. Therefore, RAC tickets will become invalid in these trains. A total of 12 Amrit Bharat trains recently launched by Prime Minister Narendra Modi will come under this provision. These will run on long-distance routes connecting North-East India, East India, Southern states and major metropolitan cities.

The list of 12 Amrit Bharat Express trains for which RAC tickets are not allowed includes Guwahati (Kamakhya) – Rohtak, Dibrugarh – Lucknow (Gomati Nagar), New Jalpaiguri – Nagercoil, New Jalpaiguri – Tiruchirappalli, Alipurduar – SMVT Bengaluru, Alipurduar – Mumbai (Panvel), Kolkata (Santragachi) – Tambaram, Kolkata (Howrah) – Anand Vihar Terminal, Kolkata (Sealdah) – Banaras, Thiruvananthapuram Central-Tambaram, Thiruvananthapuram North-Charlapalli, Nagercoil Junction-Mangalore Junction Amrit Bharat Express trains.

A decision of the Ministry of Railways has brought a big relief to thousands of passengers traveling on waiting (window ticket) and RAC tickets in trains. Actually, Railways is going to provide Hand Held Terminal Device to TT of Premium, Mail and Express trains. Railways has already started this. Let us tell you that these HHT devices will be automatically confirmed according to the vacant berth waiting or RAC number and category.

Railway’s big decision

It is worth noting that Indian Railways had earlier given HHT devices to TTs in some premium trains (Rajdhani, Shatabdi) under a pilot project. This brought great relief to the passengers. Due to this, after the waiting or RAC ticket chart of the passengers were automatically confirmed in the moving train and messages reached them.

After this, after its success, Indian Railways has given 5850 HHT devices to TT in 559 trains. According to the information given by the Railways, gradually the device will be installed in all Mail Express trains along with premium trains.

Device test

Railway Board said that 523604 reservations were made in a day in the moving train, in which 242825 tickets were checked with HHT device in the moving train. Of these, more than 18 thousand RACs and more than nine thousand waiting tickets were confirmed.

According to the Ministry of Railways, there are 12.5 lakh reservations per day on normal days. In such a situation, if the tickets are checked with HHT devices in mail, express trains, then the number of confirmed tickets will increase.

How is the checking done now?

Let us tell you that now in many trains, they check tickets by taking TT charts. The berth on which the passenger does not reach, is marked and given to the person waiting or RAC. But seat allotting in this depends on the TT. There have been many such cases in which TTs bargain in the name of getting a confirmed seat.
