New Delhi (NVI): The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) restarted the first set of Tejas Express trains from today, seven months after the services were suspended amid the pandemic.
The two Tejas Express services, the Lucknow-New Delhi and Ahmedabad-Mumbai are the first set of trains to run by IRCTC, a subsidiary of the Indian Railways.
However, the third IRCTC-operated train, the Kashi Mahakal Express between Indore and Varanasi will not begin its services as of now.
