The prices of train tickets will increase by 10% for every 10% of the tickets sold while the vacant berths will be offered at the last price sold for that particular class to current booking at the time of charting. The hike will be a maximum of 50% for 2AC and chair car, and 40% for 3AC. As for the Tatkal scheme, the rate will be 1.5 times the base fare for all classes, except first-class AC and economy in Shatabdi.

Normally surge pricing is used when there is an increase in demand and service providers make the most of it by charging a premium for it. In the case of taxi aggregators like Uber and Ola, it is done to attract more cab drivers into the area of surge pricing so that there are enough cabs available for their customers. Surge pricing only lasts for a few hours, especially during peak hours when people are either going to or coming back from work.
Most #Rajdhani, #Duronto and #Shatabdi fares up 30-40% click here pic.twitter.com/eRqP8avQ4s
— Times of India (@timesofindia) September 8, 2016
In the case of Railways, it has a monopoly and premium trains are mostly overbooked even in off-season. If the surge pricing kicks in after 10% of the tickets are booked, then it could lead to customers opting for airlines rather than buying expensive train tickets. If one were to buy a Rajdhani ticket from Delhi to Mumbai for October 8 right now, the price is around Rs 2800, if 50% tickets of the train are booked from tomorrow, then the 1.5 surge pricing will make the cost of ticket higher to around Rs 4000. Similarly, if one were to buy a flight ticket for the same day today, the fare ranges between Rs 2600 to Rs 3300.
What a schizophrenic nation we are.
Cabs do surge pricing ~ we go the courts When railways does it ~ its visionary!click here
— Akash Banerjee (@akashbanerjee) September 8, 2016
The government needs to introspect on the long-term effect of this policy and whether this will actually add revenue to their coffers or it could end up forcing train journey lovers to switch to take a flight.
