The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd (IRCTC) continues to enhance passenger convenience through its flagship e-Catering service, enabling rail travellers to order meals of their choice from authorised restaurants and well-known food brands during train journeys.

Launched as a pilot project on September 25, 2014, the e-Catering initiative initially allowed meal bookings via SMS and the IRCTC call centre. Over the years, it has evolved into a comprehensive digital platform accessible through the dedicated website (www.ecatering.irctc.co.in), the official “Food on Track” mobile application for Android and iOS, a toll-free helpline (1323), and a WhatsApp ordering facility at +91-8750001323.
