The mini-ratna company has tied up with Delhi Metro Railway Corporation for the kiosks christened ‘Food Track’, which would open shutters from next month itself.
‘We will open the kiosks in a phased manner starting with the stations in the blue line and the purple line,’ an IRCTC official said.
The hallmark of the kiosks would be hygiene factor as all the food items, including samosas, rolls and burgers would come packed. ‘Food Safety and Standards Authority of India (FSSAI) has certified the stalls,’ the official said, claiming IRCTC stalls would be the only kiosks in the metro stations certified by FSSAI.
Besides, the kiosks will serve ‘chana chawal’, ‘rajma chawal’ and ‘kadi chawal’ in sealed trays which would be microwave compatible.
