MakeMyTrip has partnered with Zomato to provide train passengers the ease of getting meals delivered straight to their seats. Through the MakeMyTrip app, travelers booking train tickets can now choose from over 40,000 restaurant partners listed on Zomato, available across 130+ stations.
The opportunity is vast, with over 90,000 rail passengers availing Indian Railways’ e-catering services daily in FY 2024–25, reflecting a 66% year-on-year growth. The travel platform aims to capitalize on this growing demand by offering its ‘Food on Train’ service, covering breakfast, lunch, dinner, and quick snacks. The platform leverages its proprietary ‘Live Train Status’ tool to prompt travelers to place orders at the most convenient time.
After travelers responded positively to the soft launch with Zomato, showing a preference for convenient, travel-friendly meals, MakeMyTrip will capitalize on this momentum by launching targeted campaigns to increase awareness of its on-train food delivery service.
Speaking about the development, Raj Rishi Singh, Chief Business Officer (Flights, GCC, Corporate Travel) & Chief Marketing Officer, MakeMyTrip, said, “Over the past few years, we have been growing faster than the overall industry in the train booking domain, driven by a sustained focus on customer-centric innovations. With the launch of our Food on Train Marketplace, we are taking another step in enhancing the travel experience by giving passengers greater choice and convenience. This collaboration with Zomato builds on that momentum and will contribute to strategically unlocking one of the fastest-growing consumption opportunities in India’s mobility ecosystem.”
Commenting on the development, Rahul Gupta, VP – Product, Zomato said, “Our commitment to ‘Serving India’ drives everything we do, and we are constantly looking for ways to make our customers’ experiences seamless and enjoyable. This collaboration with MakeMyTrip enables train passengers to conveniently order meals from their favourite restaurants through the MakeMyTrip platform, with direct food delivery to their seats. We are truly excited about the value this partnership will bring to our customers.”
For Diwali, travelers booking train tickets through MakeMyTrip will get a complimentary coupon, redeemable for food orders via Zomato, adding extra delight to their journey.
MakeMyTrip elevates every stage of train travel with technology-driven convenience. From pre-booking tools like route guidance and seat forecasts, to booking features such as Seat Lock and Free Cancellation, and post-booking services including Zomato food delivery, live PNR updates, and real-time tracking, MakeMyTrip ensures a seamless journey from start to finish.
