Premium Express

Premium Express
Overview
Main Operation(s): India 2014 -
Fleet size: 27
Parent company: Indian Railways
Website: www.indianrail.gov.in

The Premium Express series of trains were introduced by Indian Railways in 2014 for the 1st time. They were intended to follow dynamic pricing in fares similar to that of airlines contrary to the standard one fare for one class of travel generally followed by Indian Railways.

The result at times has been prices being in excess of AC 1st Class fares on some sectors.

The salient features of this train are:

  1. Dynamic fare pricing will be followed in this type of train with fare being increased for subsequent bookings.
  2. Only a 15-day Advance reservation period will be permitted for this train with no agent booking allowed.
  3. There will be no waitlisted ticket issued & no modification of ticket or upgradation is permitted.
  4. Only e-tickets will be issued & booking is permitted only through IRCTC's website.
  5. There will be no quota for ladies/tatkal etc. & no concession (senior citizen, handicapped etc.) is permitted.
  6. Identity card details are required at the time of booking tickets.
  7. No cancellation is permitted with the only exception being if Indian Railways cancels the train.
  8. Vacant seats after charting will be available at the respective current booking counters of the train originating station.
