Here’s some good news for train travelers. IRCTC, the platform where you book train tickets, has partnered with Zomato, an online food delivery company.
What this means is that IRCTC will bring your favorite food right to your train seat.
Since this deal with IRCTC, Zomato’s stock has reached its highest point in a year during Wednesday’s trading session.
In a formal document submitted to the stock exchange, IRCTC has shared some exciting news.
It says that train passengers can now order food in advance using IRCTC’s e-Catering website, which has partnered with Zomato.
This collaboration expands the variety of food options available through IRCTC’s e-Catering service. They’ve already signed an agreement for food delivery.
In the initial stage, they’ll test this concept at five railway stations: New Delhi, Prayagraj, Kanpur, Lucknow, and Varanasi.
It’s a way to see how well the supply and delivery of pre-ordered food through Zomato on IRCTC’s e-Catering portal will work.
Initially, food is being supplied and delivered at five railway stations.
These services will grow to more stations in the future, connecting them with Zomato for food delivery.
You can order your favorite food by visiting the IRCTC e-Catering website. IRCTC is part of the Indian Railways’ e-ticketing system.
Because of this news, Zomato’s stock price rose significantly during Wednesday’s trading session.
It reached its highest level in a year, at Rs 115.10 during the day’s trading.
However, due to a market downturn, the stock has since fallen and is currently trading at Rs 110.60.
In contrast, IRCTC shares are trading at Rs 703.20, experiencing a decline of 1.60 percent.
