IRCTC boosts revenues with quick meals

When Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) used ready-to-eat meals as a substitute for its service of cooked food following the Covid-19 outbreak, little did the company know it had hit upon a source of revenue that would outlive the pandemic. Quick meals in trains were an instant hit, not only providing passengers hygienic food during travel, but also an opportunity for IRCTC to replace pantry cars and recover losses incurred during the pandemic.
