10 New Trains:
Indian Railways has introduced another major update for passengers. To make travel easier during the festive season, 10 new trains will start operating from November 1, 2025. This move aims to improve connectivity between major cities and states, providing a more comfortable and secure journey for millions of travelers.
Bookings for these new trains opened on October 27, 2025, allowing passengers to plan their travel well in advance. These new trains will cover important routes across Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra, Punjab, Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Karnataka, and other states.
The new trains will have General, Sleeper, and AC coaches, ensuring options for all types of passengers. The Railways has also taken steps to enhance the travel experience by improving food quality through cloud kitchens and strengthening onboard catering services. Additionally, holding areas are being developed at major stations to manage large crowds during peak hours.
To make the ticketing process more transparent and secure, the Aadhaar authentication system will be mandatory during the first 15 minutes of online booking. This rule ensures that genuine passengers get priority and prevents misuse by ticketing agents. Authorized agents will not be able to book tickets during the first 10 minutes of the booking period.
Passengers can easily book tickets via the IRCTC website or mobile app. Those who prefer booking at railway counters can continue using the existing process without changes.
These new trains will offer many benefits, including more available seats, better comfort, improved meals, and faster travel between major destinations. Starting from January 2026, passengers will also be able to modify their travel date online, without visiting a station.
This new initiative by Indian Railways marks another step toward modern, passenger-friendly travel. With improved facilities, better food, and transparent systems, the Indian Railways continues its mission to make journeys safer, faster, and more convenient for everyone.
