US EditionRailways Likely to Hike Passenger Fares From July 1
- Beginning July 1, 2025, Indian Railways will raise fares slightly for long-distance mail and express train services across the country.
- This fare revision follows the last adjustment on January 1, 2020, and reflects pressure from inflation and rising costs amid appeals against reducing general coaches.
- The revision proposes a 2 paise per km increase for AC classes, a 1 paisa hike for non-AC Mail/Express trains, and a 0.5 paisa rise for second class journeys over 500 km, with fares for suburban and monthly season tickets unchanged.
- The head of Tamil Nadu's government, M.K. Stalin, appealed to Prime Minister Modi and Railway Minister Vaishnaw to refrain from raising train fares or cutting down on general coaches, emphasizing the critical dependence of daily commuters on the railway system.
- The fare increase is expected to slightly affect overall travel expenses while ensuring that short-distance and regular commuters are not subjected to extra financial strain.
