Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC)-authorised catering partner and food aggregator platform RailRestro has resumed online restaurant food delivery services for Railways’ passengers, as per the official release.
The service can be availed across a large number of railway stations in India. This comes after RailRestro obtained permission officially from the Ministry of Railways and IRCTC to allow e-catering services to operate inside trains.
