Free Wifi on Rajdhani trains

The Railway ministry had shared its plans to include Wi-Fi services for free on selected trains during its Rail Budget announcement earlier this year. Mr. Pawan Kumar Bansal seems to be serious in this regard. The initiative to kick-start the venture is in place.

Free Wi-Fi service on the New Delhi- Howrah Rajdhani Express train has been reportedly launched.

According to a Business Line report, the Wi-Fi service of 4 Mbps is being provided to the passengers which enabled them to browse the Internet, check emails, chat or use YouTube or check their Facebook accounts, during their journey. They are required to share their mobile number or their PNR number to receive a password through SMS, which will give them access to the Wi-Fi.


The Ministry plans to offer free Wi-Fi services on 50 other trains by the end of this year, which will include the Rajdhani's, the Shatabdi's and the Duronto express trains among others.
