Under the joint effort of KFC and IRCTC, passengers in trains will be able to enjoy KFC meals on board. KFC has announced that it has entered into a partnership with the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC).

At present, the facility is available on 12 trains passing through New Delhi railway station and will be expanded to Vishakhapatnam, Hyderabad and Bengaluru stations over the period of next ten days.Passengers can easily order KFC meal while booking a ticket through IRCTC 20 July onwards, under e-catering service initiative."Consumers will have to visit the IRCTC website or call on 18001034139 (Toll Free) to place their order.
