Global Record: IRCTC Powers Election Forces with 20 Lakh Meals on Wheels!

Admin

Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (#IRCTC) has achieved a historic milestone in logistics and catering, demonstrating its unparalleled capacity to support the nation’s democratic machinery. As of May 13, 2026, the organization has successfully delivered a staggering 20 lakh meals to paramilitary and state forces deployed for election duties.

Fueling the Guardians of Democracy

In a first-of-its-kind global operation, IRCTC managed the massive task of catering to forces across 366 election special trains. These meals supported personnel from the CRPF and various state forces who traveled thousands of kilometers to ensure free and fair elections across five states: West Bengal, Assam, Kerala, Puducherry, and Tamil Nadu.

A Double Milestone: Serving the Nation Daily

What makes this feat even more remarkable is the scale of IRCTC’s standard operations. In addition to this massive election effort, IRCTC also supplies approximately 20 lakh meals daily to regular Indian Railways passengers, ensuring uninterrupted service across the country’s vast rail network.

“Behind every free and fair election stood paramilitary personnel… who left their homes and stood duty. Salute to the forces. Salute to IRCTC.”

Social Media Applauds: #Keep_It_Up_IRCTC Trends Globally

While some “vested interests” often attempt to trend IRCTC for negative reasons, this monumental record has captured the public’s heart. The hashtag #Keep_It_Up_IRCTC has dominated social media platforms, reaching:

  • #1 Trending in the Travel category globally.
  • #2 Trending overall in the “For You” and “Trending” sections.

This achievement underscores IRCTC’s role as a vital pillar of Indian infrastructure, proving that no challenge is too large when it comes to serving those who serve the nation.
