To enhance the food quality in the running trains, the Indian Railways is planning to prefer branded foods only. the IRCTC would now offer the foods supplied by big brands who are image-conscious. To achieve this goal, the Indian railways would soon tie-up with some big brands of food suppliers. Through e-catering, big brands will be selected on the basis of their easy access and reach to the respective railway junctions.

According to the higher officials at Indian Railways, the e-catering services might be incepted in December 2019.  Those officials further informed that the Indian Railways has already begun its work on e-catering services. They also informed that after the new IRCTC policy, passengers will be given their food bill so that the IRCTC vendor doesn't charge them extra.
