It was recently reported that over the next two months, The Indian Railway is likely to restore its passenger train services to almost pre Covid-19 levels, provided the pandemic remains under control and all the necessary approvals are given by the concerned state governments along with the nod of Railway Ministry. These trains are also likely to be special trains only and not regular passenger services. All regular passenger train services of Indian Railways were suspended when a nationwide lockdown was declared last year in March but since May 2020 special train services were started by the national transporter in a phased manner.
