Collaboration aims to transform on-board dining with convenience, variety, and real-time ordering.
MakeMyTrip has announced a strategic partnership with Zomato to enable direct meal delivery for train passengers across India. The service, which will launch this Diwali, covers 130+ railway stations and allows travellers to order from more than 40,000 restaurant partners through the MakeMyTrip app, with food delivered directly to their seats.
The initiative comes amid a surge in demand for e-catering on Indian Railways. In FY 2024–25, over 90,000 passengers used e-catering services daily, reflecting a 66% year-on-year growth. To further enhance the experience, MakeMyTrip will integrate its Live Train Status tool, letting passengers schedule meals-breakfast, lunch, dinner, or snacks-in sync with real-time train movements.
Raj Rishi Singh, Chief Business Officer & CMO, MakeMyTrip, said:
“With the launch of our Food on Train Marketplace, we are taking another step toward enhancing the travel experience by giving passengers greater choice and convenience. Our collaboration with Zomato builds on this momentum and will help unlock one of the fastest-growing opportunities in India’s mobility ecosystem.”
As part of the rollout, MakeMyTrip is offering a festive promotion-passengers booking train tickets via the platform will receive a complimentary Zomato coupon redeemable on their orders.
This partnership is expected to redefine on-board dining, combining convenience, variety, and festive value for millions of rail travellers.
