Indian Railways (IRCTC)
Indian Railways is the world's fourth-largest state-owned rail network, running premier overnight AC services such as the Rajdhani Express between the national capital and major cities across the country. Tickets for foreign tourists are typically booked through the IRCTC platform under a Foreign Tourist Quota that opens further ahead than the standard 60-day domestic advance window.
Informazioni principali
LHB (Linke-Hofmann-Busch) lightweight steel coaches, standard on Rajdhani-class trains, offering AC First (1AC), AC 2-Tier (2AC), AC 3-Tier (3AC) and non-AC Sleeper Class (SL) accommodation depending on the train.
Generous free baggage allowance typical of Indian long-distance trains; no strict weight enforcement in practice.
No formal check-in; board at the platform, conductor checks tickets and ID after departure.
Refund percentage depends on how close to departure a ticket is cancelled; heavily discounted quotas may be non-refundable.
Foreign travellers booking under the Foreign Tourist Quota typically pay a premium over the standard fare plus a service charge, but gain access to a separate booking allocation and can book up to a year ahead.
Abbonamenti ferroviari
No Eurail/Interrail equivalent covers India; the former 'Indrail Pass' for foreign tourists was discontinued in 2017, so point-to-point ticketing is the only option.
