Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC)

Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation, commonly referred to as IRCTC, plays a significant role in the railway services sector in India, particularly focusing on catering, tourism, and online ticketing operations for Indian Railways.

Recent Events

IRCTC recently faced criticism following a high-profile incident involving spoiled milk served on a Vande Bharat Express train. The milk, sourced from the Odisha State Cooperative Milk Producers’ Federation (OMFED), was confirmed to be within its expiration date. However, issues arose from last-mile logistics and handling by the onboard service staff, leading IRCTC to issue formal reprimands and implement stricter corrective measures to prevent future occurrences.
