The Ministry of Railways has decided to further revise the fares of AC classes of Duronto Express trains in order to bring it at par with the Rajdhani-Shatabdi Express for comparable classes.
“There shall be no change in the fares of sleeper class and non-AC chair car classes of Duronto Express. The new changes in fares of the Duronto Express shall come into effect from October 10,” said a Railway official.
In case of tickets already issued at pre-revised rate, the difference in fare and other charges will be recovered for journeys undertaken on or after October 10, either by TTEs on trains or by the booking/reservation offices before the commencement of the journey.
The Railways also announced on Saturday that passenger fares and freight tariffs will be linked to the Fuel Adjustment Component (FAC). The revised passenger fares will be effective from the midnight of October 6 and 7.
