SCR takes steps to introduce Bharat Gaurav trains #IndiaNEWS #Hyderabad
Hyderabad: With a view to showcase Indias rich cultural heritage, magnificent historical places and important pilgrimage destinations, South Central Railway is ready to introduce theme-based tourist circuit trains namely Bharat Gaurav, as per the directions given by the Ministry of Railways.



Operated by private players, these trains will help in boosting the tourism sector in India besides providing a hassle free transportation facility to the rail users, a press release from SCR said.



To give flexibility, the private players have been given the option of deciding their business model for operating Bharat Gaurav trains, including themes, routes, itinerary, tariff and other attributes connected with the model. Any interested participant — individual, partnership firm, company, joint ventures, etc — can register on Indian railways official website, which will be processed within a time-bound span of 10 working days. The registered service providers have the option of placing the demand for rakes as per their requirement (minimum of 14 coaches and maximum of 20 coaches). They would be charged for right to use charges, fixed and variable haulage charges, stabling charges for utilisation of railways infrastructure and rolling stock, as per clear-cut policy guidelines. These trains will be treated on par with mail/express trains.



The service providers can make minor modifications to the interiors of the coaches within the safety protocols. For further queries, interested participants may contact R Sudarshan, Chief Commercial Manager (Passenger Services), SCR at Rail Nilayam or email to bharatgauravtrainsscr@gmail.com. A customer support unit has also been established at SCR to help the service providers.



SCR General Manager, Gajanan Mallya, observed that SCR has many locations over its network which has rich cultural heritage, magnificent historical places and important pilgrimage destinations which can be connected by the Bharat Gaurav trains for passengers benefit.
