Abhi koi bhi routes finalized nehin hai and Auctions not done ..... all routes in clusters will be given to private companies both Indian and outside India and their names will be declared also...all in discussions stage...... This years RAILWAY BUDGET you can see more Announcements on this.......then these private companies will provide rakes ( they can buy rakes from any manufacturer they want, and other staffs also, fares and stoppageswill be declared by them also.......it it a long process not a 1 day process.
Indore-Varanasi private train is completely a different process . Varanasi private train is like Lucknow Tejas and Mumbai Tejas under IRCTC....But these 150 private trains cluster will be a different project. As per present status...
more... what i know there will be no IRCTC involved in this cluster route Scheme. It will be a different project similar to Airlines where pvt companies will have trains with their names....like say for example: INDIGO TRAINS, EMERSON TRAINS, etc, etc..
Anybody having more data can share..... correct me if i am wrong also...no issues.
