The second Tejas Express is called a ‘private’ train since its operational control is under IRCTC, instead of Indian Railways. The train has been equipped with state-of-the-art facilities on-board for its passengers.
Fully air-conditioned, it has aircraft-style personalised LED entertainment screens in the Executive class and seats with comfortable headrest and footrest.
