Vande Bharat Express Food Scandal: South Railway Cancels Contract After Passengers Complain of Rotten Meals

Vande Bharat Express Food Controversy: South Railway Cancels Catering Contract After Complaints of Poor Quality Meals

The Vande Bharat Express, often celebrated as the pride of Indian Railways, has landed in controversy after passengers reported being served rotten and low-quality food. This shocking incident has raised serious questions about the catering standards in premium Indian trains.

After several written complaints and even interventions from public representatives, the Southern Railway has taken strict action—cancelling the catering contract of Delhi-based Vrindavan Foods Products.

According to official sources, this company is a sister concern of M/s R.K. Associates and Hoteliers Pvt. Ltd., one of the biggest catering service providers in the railway sector.

Vrindavan Foods challenged the cancellation in the Madras High Court, which initially granted a stay. However, on October 8, the court ruled in favour of the Railway, allowing them to terminate the contract permanently.

Following the court’s decision, Southern Railway immediately ended all contracts with Vrindavan Foods and handed over the catering responsibility to IRCTC.

For now, Food World, Express Foods, Sankalp Caterers, and A.S. Sales Corporation have been temporarily assigned to manage catering services on the affected routes.

Affected Vande Bharat Routes:

  1. MGR Chennai Central – Mysuru
  2. Thiruvananthapuram – Kasaragod
  3. Thiruvananthapuram – Mangaluru
  4. Chennai Central – Coimbatore
  5. Chennai Egmore – Tirunelveli
  6. Chennai Central – Vijayawada

Under Indian Railways policy, service providers repeatedly found guilty of poor quality can be blacklisted. The big question now — will Vrindavan Foods be blacklisted, or will it escape accountability through influence?

This incident isn’t just about bad food — it’s about public trust and the reputation of Indian Railways. Serving unhygienic food in a prestigious train like Vande Bharat Express is a major breach of passenger confidence.

Railway passengers are now demanding strict and permanent action to prevent such negligence in the future.
