Vande Bharat trains register 99% utilisation during FY24 up to June 2023
Overall utilisation of Vande Bharat trains has been 99.6 per cent during the ongoing financial year 2023-24 up to June 2023, the Ministry of Railways has informed on Wednesday, July 26.
This information was given by the railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw in a written reply to a question in Lok Sabha on Wednesday.
To ensure maximum utilisation, zonal railways have been authorised to introduce up to 25 per cent discount on the basic fare in AC chair car and Executive class. This allows zonal railways to offer competitive fares over certain segments after analysing the travel trends for all competitive modes in the region and also estimating the future occupancy potential, the reply said.
