IRCTC INDIAN RAILWAYS: शताब्दी, दुरंतो से लेकर राजधानी तक में इंडियन रेलवे कैटरिंग एंड टूरिज्म कॉरपोरेशन (आईआरसीटीसी) के खाने के मेन्यू में बदलाव किया गया है। हाल ही में रेलवे बोर्ड के एक परिपत्र में घोषित किया गया था कि आईआरसीटीसी मेन्यू टैरिफ या भोजन की कीमतें राजधानी, शताब्दी और दुरंतो एक्सप्रेस और मेल/ एक्सप्रेस ट्रेनों में बढ़ जाएंगी। इन ट्रेनों में खाना बनाने और परोसने की जिम्मेदारी आईआरसीटीसी को ही दी गई है। आईआरसीटीसी ही यात्रियों को परोसे जाने वाले भोजन की मात्रा और गुणवत्ता के लिए जिम्मेदार होगी।
प्रीमियम ट्रेनों राजधानी, दुरंतो और शताब्दी एक्सप्रेस में परोसे जाने वाला खाना वैकल्पिक होगा। यानि की यात्रियों की इच्छा पर ही इसे किराए में तभी शामिल किया जाएगा जब वह इसको चुनेंगे। कीमतों में बढ़ोतरी रेलवे में मिलने वाले खाने की क्वॉलिटी में इजाफा करने के लिए की गई है। यात्रियों के सुझावों के बाद क्षेत्रीय व्यंजनों, स्नैक स्टाइल मील और नॉन-वेज बिरयानी को भी मेन्यू में शामिल किया गया है।
