Train travel Insurance details:

Any passenger booking a ticket through IRCTC website or app can take the advantage of this insurance facility. However, only Indian citizens can avail this facility, and foreign citizens do not come under its purview. 

Many flight ticket booking websites also offer this type of insurance, but in comparison, their premiums are much higher.
