IRCTC, Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd., is a hospitality and tourism organization created by the Ministry of Railways to professionalize catering and tourism activities across the railways, introducing public-private participation in the process. It treats rail-based tourism as a primary growth channel, coordinating with state agencies, tour operators, travel agents, and the hospitality industry to design and deliver travel experiences linked to India’s railway network. The company is based in Delhi and operates within the broader Indian Railways ecosystem that serves millions of passengers daily. Its scope includes rail tourism services such as full train charters, private coaches, and reserved-berth programs tailored for tourism, developed through collaborations with tour operators and state tourism bodies. IRCTC also offers internet-based rail reservations via its website and operates a nationwide call center to provide information and assistance to travelers. In addition, it has planned to establish more than 50 multi-cuisine food plazas at major railway stations to enhance passenger convenience, with modern decor and round-the-clock operation. A notable development in 2025 is the launch of the Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Circuit Bharat Gaurav Train Tour, starting from Mumbai.
