• Indian Railways has launched an experimental Round Trip Package scheme offering a 20% rebate on the base fare of the return journey for passengers booking round trips during the 2025 festive season.
• The initiative seeks to spread out passenger traffic, reduce last-minute booking surges, and enhance travel convenience during peak months.
• Bookings under the scheme will commence on August 14, 2025, for onward journeys scheduled between October 13 and October 26, 2025, with return trips between November 17 and December 1, 2025.
