After revising the food tariff for all trains except premier services last year, Railways have firmed up a proposal to increase the rates of food served in Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto.As per the proposal, the overall increase in food item would be higher for passengers travelling in AC-II, III and chair car categories, but would be minimum for AC-I.Passengers in premier trains - Rajdhani, Shatabdi and Duronto - are entitled to meals and snacks for which charges are included in the price of the ticket."A decision has to be taken whether the food charges will be revised without increasing the fares in premier trains, or include it in the ticket and allow the fares to go up," a source in Railways said.
