IRCTC wants to offer you varieties of tea on trains. Now you will get over 25 varieties of tea, which can further be customised in over 12,000 ways. These varieties of tea will come from popular tea cafe chain Chaayos.
IRCTC has launched a new mobile app for taking tea orders. Customers will also get 10% cashback on e-catering order over Rs 300. As of now, it is available only on limited stations. This service will first start for all trains from New Delhi railway station. Later, it will be rolled out to other stations.
“The steaming cup of tea, an inseparable part of any train journey, is going to be tastier and customised in choicest flavours with IRCTC entering into a tie up with leading tea cafe chain Chaayos. Another good news for rail passengers is that we have decided to give 10% cash back offer on e-catering orders of over Rs 300,” said Arun Kumar Manocha, chairman, IRCTC.
