Indian Railways might soon offer paid entertainment on-board for passengers

IRCTC is soon going to gift you the bliss of entertainment with its plan to offer paid content on demand to passengers. This means that you could demand music, movies, and more for a price.
The Indian Railways is now redrawing a tender, that is going to invite over-the-top content providers for passengers onboard. The Indian Railways entertainment section is definitely going to keep passengers busy and interested. However, the railways are yet to decide on the charges for these services; however, it has been said that one of the incentives for over-the-top players would be earnings through advertising.


The railways have plans to launch this service back in January 2017 in order to boost non-fare revenue. At that time, the idea was dumped due to the cold response. During that attempt, the Indian Railways has planned to offer movies, soaps, and music for 1300 premium trains. The idea was to offer pre-loaded content on smartphones, laptops, tablets, and other devices of passengers, for a fee.
Now, once again, the railways is back with the idea and is working towards offering paid entertainment onboard to passengers.
