The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) has partnered with Swiggy for the delivery of pre-ordered meals booked by passengers through the corporation's e-catering portal. During the initial stage, Swiggy will provide services to IRCTC customers at four railway stations.

The services will be expanded to other stations after the completion of the first phase.

The e-catering service through Bundl Technologies Pvt. Ltd. (Swiggy Foods) may be available soon.

Indian Railways' catering arm is opting for partnerships and tie-ups to expand its services to a larger number of railway stations with a wider range of food options for its customers.
