With the dip in Covid-19 cases and easing of restrictions, Indian Railways is gearing up to restart normal services of passenger trains from September. The new timetable and fare policy, which were put on hold due to the pandemic, are expected to be released in October. However, the decision to resume unreserved passenger trains will depend on the requests from states and footfall of passengers. In a positive move, the fare policy is also expected to see a reduction in prices as the Railway plans to remove 'zero' from train numbers and base fares on pre-pandemic rates.
