Indian Railways to Run 1,244 Holi Special Trains from February 25 to March 18

Indian Railways plans to operate 1,244 Holi Special train trips from February 25 to March 18, 2026, across multiple zones to manage increased passenger traffic during the festival. Key routes connect major cities in northern, eastern, southern, and western India, including Mumbai, Delhi, Chennai, and Kolkata. The number of trips may rise to 1,500 if demand grows. Despite these arrangements, high demand has led to long waiting lists and full bookings on many trains, including premium services like Rajdhani Express.
