Indian Railways has reclassified 155 trains into a new 'high-speed' category, leading to a significant increase in allowances for loco pilots, guards, and running staff. The Railway Board announced that staff operating high-speed trains like Vande Bharat, Rajdhani, and Duronto will see an increase in travel allowance and mileage rates. This adjustment is expected to boost monthly earnings by ₹5,000 to ₹10,000. The decision recognizes the increased responsibility and stress involved in operating trains at speeds of 130-160 kmph.
