And, now IRCTC has decided to broad the ambit of it, because, within a year, this service acquired many compliments by the passengers. This “station-based” e-catering service will be launched at 45 stations, including 4 major stations of Kerala. The service is only available for the passengers, who can easily order their food of their choice from leading private caterers that will be delivered at the stations.
This facility will be there on all trains passing through the 45 selected stations and passengers can order their meal either online at www.ecatering.irctc.co.in or by calling 0120-2383892-99/1800-1034-139 (toll-free). Meals can also be ordered by sending SMS to 139 with details of PNR and seat number. Apart these, the IRCTC also makes available meals from “Jan Ahaar” (budget food), fast-food and food plazas units.
