Indian Railways has implemented a fare increase for several classes, effective today. The hike applies to Sleeper, 3AC, 2AC, and 1AC classes, with specific details on the additional costs to be paid by passengers. However, fares for suburban services, monthly season tickets, and Second-Class Ordinary journeys up to 215 km remain unchanged. Reservation charges, superfast surcharges, and other ancillary fees are also unaffected.
