Railway Fare Update 2025: स्लीपर, AC, मेल एक्सप्रेस टिकट कितना महंगा हुआ?

Indian Railways has announced a rationalised passenger fare structure effective from 26 December 2025. The key objective of this fare revision is to balance passenger affordability with operational sustainability, while ensuring minimal impact on daily commuters.
Under the revised railway fare policy, there is no increase in fares for suburban train services, season tickets, and Second Class Ordinary journeys up to 215 km. This decision protects short-distance travelers and regular commuters from additional financial burden.
For longer Second Class Ordinary journeys, the fare increase is nominal and distance-based, ranging from ₹5 to ₹20. Sleeper Class and First Class Ordinary fares have been increased uniformly at 1 paise per kilometre. In Mail and Express trains, including AC and Non-AC coaches, the fare hike is limited to 2 paise per kilometre, resulting in only about ₹10 extra for a 500 km journey.
Premium trains such as Rajdhani, Shatabdi, Vande Bharat, Duronto, Tejas, and Garib Rath follow the same revised structure. Importantly, reservation charges, superfast surcharge, GST, and rounding rules remain unchanged.
The revised fares apply only to tickets booked on or after 26 December 2025, with no impact on existing bookings.

भारतीय रेलवे ने 26 दिसंबर 2025 से नया किराया लागू किया है. हालांकि उपनगरीय ट्रेनों, सीजन टिकट और 215 किमी तक की सेकंड क्लास यात्रा पर कोई बढ़ोतरी नहीं हुई है. स्लीपर, एसी और मेल-एक्सप्रेस ट्रेनों में मामूली बढ़ोतरी की गई है. जानिए किस क्लास में कितना किराया बढ़ा और किसे राहत मिली.
