In preparation for the anticipated surge in travel demand during the summer season, Indian Railways has announced plans to operate a record-breaking 9,111 trips, marking a significant increase from the 6,369 trips offered during the previous summer in 2023.
These additional trains are strategically planned to connect key destinations across the country, aiming to facilitate seamless travel along major railway routes. All zonal railways spanning India have mobilized to manage the heightened summer travel rush originating from states such as Tamil Nadu, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Odisha, West Bengal, Bihar, Uttar Pradesh, Karnataka, Andhra Pradesh, Telangana, Jharkhand, Madhya Pradesh, Rajasthan, and Delhi.
The process of planning and operating additional trains is a dynamic one, with continuous monitoring and assessment of demand from various sources such as media reports, social media platforms, the Railway Integrated helpline number 139, and waitlist passenger data in the Passenger Reservation System (PRS). Based on these inputs, the number of trains and trips are adjusted accordingly throughout the season to meet evolving travel requirements.
