Indian Railways has announced a welcome change for travelers across the country. From September 22, Rail Neer bottled water will become more affordable, bringing much-needed relief to millions of passengers. The price of a 1-liter Rail Neer bottle will drop from ₹15 to ₹14, while the half-liter bottle will now cost ₹9 instead of ₹10.
A Step Towards Passenger Convenience
The Railways explained that this price cut has been introduced to ease the financial burden on passengers, especially those who travel long distances and rely on packaged drinking water during their journey. With millions of Rail Neer bottles sold every year, this decision will directly benefit a huge number of commuters. Importantly, officials have assured that lowering the rates will not compromise the purity or quality of the water.
For several months, travelers had been voicing their concerns about the rising costs of bottled water and the risk of counterfeit products when buying outside. Many had urged the Railways to make Rail Neer more affordable and widely available as a trusted option. Responding to this demand, the fare reduction is expected to make travel more comfortable for frequent passengers.
Effective From September 22
Starting September 22, passengers will be able to purchase Rail Neer at the revised prices both on railway platforms and inside trains. This move is expected to boost sales, as more people are likely to choose Rail Neer over unverified alternatives. By making safe and reliable water more accessible, the Railways aims not only to provide relief to passengers but also to strengthen their confidence in the services.
