IRCTC CMD Sanjay Kumar Jain resigned citing personal reasons, effective July 20, 2026. Railways Ministry accepted exit and will assign interim charge. His tenure since Feb 2024 saw Navratna upgrade, record ₹5,215 crore revenue, AI kitchen monitoring, and e-Pantry expansion.

Why this matters

Jain's exit closes a tenure that earned IRCTC Navratna status and record FY26 revenue, following recent crackdowns on 14 unauthorised e-catering sites. Interim leadership now inherits AI kitchen and e-Pantry initiatives.

Leadership signals steady at 385 over the past 90 days.
