Curd cup on train table with Vande Bharat Express outside window.
The Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) is considering terminating a catering licensee’s contract following complaints about the quality of Amul curd served on the Patna-Tatanagar Vande Bharat Express. According to economictimes.indiatimes.com, the caterer may also face a penalty.
IRCTC has summoned Amul to provide an explanation regarding the quality concerns. The incident has raised concerns about food quality on premium train services and has prompted IRCTC to reinforce hygiene and vendor accountability measures across its catering services.
The potential contract termination and penalty reflect IRCTC’s commitment to maintaining food standards on its trains. The incident underscores the importance of quality control in catering services, especially on high-profile routes such as the Vande Bharat Express.
