Railway Ministry accepted IRCTC CMD Sanjay Kumar Jain's resignation; he exits July 20 after a two-year tenure that saw Navratna status, record ₹5,215 crore revenue, AI-enabled kitchen monitoring and e-Pantry pre-booked meals.

Why this matters

Jain's exit comes as IRCTC navigates operational pressure: redeploying induction stoves across 1,400 trains amid an LPG crunch and cracking down on 14 unauthorised e-catering sites.

Leadership signals steady at 374 in the last 90 days.
