Shares of railway and related companies continued yesterday’s rally amid multiple factors like rise in fares, new projects and more.
Why did the Railways increase fares?
The Railways announced an increase in fares for long-distance travel from December 26, 2025. Accordingly, passengers travelling for up to 500 km will have to pay an additional ₹10 for both AC and non AC coaches. However, there is no increase in fare for short distance journeys under 215 km in ordinary class.
The increase in fares mainly on longer routes is aimed at generating revenue to meet increased expenses. The Railways also expect that this will boost its earnings by ₹600 crore and help in covering rising manpower costs.
The Union Budget is just a few weeks away and typically, capital intensive sectors attract attention ahead of it. There are expectations of increased capital expenditure to support the next phase of modernization and increased allocations for the Kavach Safety System, as per media reports.
