Also in new trains like TEJAS and UDAY trains, the food & beverages vending machine will be installed. With this the passenger will be able get beverages like coffee, packed juice, cold drink, biscuits, other snacks and packed foods by putting money eliminating the wait of service men. 

As the existing food in trains do not much satisfy the railway passengers, the IRCTC plans to refresh the food menu by introducing new menu with local flavours. 

IRCTC plans to bring in rate flexibility on food menu - which means the food menu rates might be decided by the association. However, in Aam Aadmi food or Jan Ahar  will remain mandatory. Remaining all Al Carte basis the prices can be charged by IRCTC. 

To make this policy effective, IRCTC has been providing ready to eat food samples to railway passenger on trial basis on Mumbai Rajdhani trains
