On PM Modi's birthday, the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation Ltd. (IRCTC) has commissioned a modern food plaza at Vadnagar Railway Station in Gujarat, where once the prime minister sold tea.

Vadnagar is the hometown of PM Modi.


In 2021, PM Modi had inaugurated the revamped Vadnagar Railway Station.



The IRCTC said that the modern food plaza at Vadnagar Railway Station will enhance passenger amenities and travel comfort.

“Under the visionary leadership of the Minister of Railways and the guidance of IRCTC’s Chairman and Managing Director, Sanjay Kumar Jain, IRCTC is continuously taking new initiatives to provide world-class facilities and excellent services to passengers,” an official statement said.

Spread across 383 sq. meters, the food plaza offers comfortable seating for 52 passengers and has been designed on a unique Tea Theme. Passengers can relish a wide range of teas -- from the much-loved traditional 'cutting chai to premium international varieties like Jasmine, Earl Grey, and Green Tea, it said.

"Adding to the charm, a specially curated vintage tea stall at the entrance recreates the nostalgic ambience of traditional tea corners," said the official statement.

Speaking on the occasion, Gaurav Jha, Group General Manager, IRCTC West Zone, Mumbai, said, “The food plaza at Vadnagar Railway Station will provide world-class services to passengers and enrich their travel experience. The tea-themed concept makes this facility unique and passenger-friendly.”
