What is the name of the first train of Indian Railways handed over to private players for operation?

Tejas Express
Shatabdi Express
Karnataka Express
Duronto Express

The correct answer is: A. Tejas Express

The Tejas Express is a semi-high-speed train operated by Indian Railways. It was the first train to be operated by a private player, IRCTC, under the public-private partnership (PPP) model. The train was flagged off on 17 January 2017 and runs between Mumbai and Ahmedabad.

The Tejas Express is a fully air-conditioned train with comfortable seats, power sockets, and Wi-Fi. It also has a pantry car that serves hot and cold meals. The train has a maximum speed of 160 km/h and covers the distance between Mumbai and Ahmedabad in 6 hours and 15 minutes.

The Tejas Express has been a huge success and has received positive feedback from passengers. It has also helped to improve the image of Indian Railways.

The other options are incorrect because:

  • The Shatabdi Express is a superfast train operated by Indian Railways. It is not a semi-high-speed train and is not operated by a private player.
  • The Karnataka Express is a mail train operated by Indian Railways. It is not a semi-high-speed train and is not operated by a private player.
  • The Duronto Express is a superfast train operated by Indian Railways. It is not a semi-high-speed train and is not operated by a private player.
