The trains were sustaining losses of several lakhs per trip since the resumption of services post lockdown

The fancy Tejas Express is back in the yard! A month after the trains resumed operations amid the Unlock, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) said they have decided to cancel services of both the Tejas trains following 'low occupancy' due to the pandemic. The Mumbai-Ahmedabad and Lucknow-Delhi Tejas express services will be closed from November 24 and 23, respectively.

A note from Western Railway (WR) confirmed the development and stated, "On account of poor occupancy levels due to Coronavirus pandemic, it has been decided by IRCTC to cancel all the trips of train no. 82902/82901 Ahmedabad- Mumbai Central Tejas Express with effect from November 24, 2020, till further notice."
