🚨 The Indian Railways is better in punctuality than several European countries: Ashwini Vaishnaw.

@IndianTechGuide Punctuality according to what? Indian Railways Standard Time?

@IndianTechGuide Matalab Kuch bhi 🤣🤣🤣🤣

@IndianTechGuide Shut up nothing is good in India.. All are corrupt. WINNING GAURAV KHANNA

@IndianTechGuide Sharam hai ???

@IndianTechGuide I’m sure even he doesn’t believe what he’s saying. 😂

@IndianTechGuide BJP has found a genius trick 😂 A minister makes a dumb statement → IT cell spreads it → WhatsApp uncle-aunty who’ve never stepped out of their town think “India is beating Europe” 🇮🇳 But the same people want their kids to settle in Europe/USA 🤡 What a comedy show. Reality 👇

@IndianTechGuide अश्विनी कुछ ज्यादा नहीं हो गया तेरा 🌚🥲

@IndianTechGuide Ashwini Vaishnaw is good at making reels and claims. Running and improving railways is not his job.

@IndianTechGuide Indian Railways is so punctual,if you adjust your watch to Railway Standard Time

@IndianTechGuide Nice joke😂👌

@IndianTechGuide Why always speak in general terms? Name specific countries so we can compare.

According to recent official data, Indian Railways' punctuality is around 85-90% for major mail/express trains (using a tolerance window). For comparison, leading European networks like Switzerland, Germany, or Japan often report figures above 92-95% (with a stricter 3-5 min tolerance). The progress made in India is impressive given the network's density and complexity, and sharing the specific study/data behind this comparison would be insightful.

@IndianTechGuide Several European countries

🚨 BREAKING: “Indian Railways More Punctual Than Many European Nations,” Says Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw tells Rajya Sabha punctuality has jumped to 80%, with 70 divisions crossing the 90% milestone. New Delhi | Dec 6, 2025 Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw on Friday told the Rajya Sabha that Indian Railways’ overall punctuality has now touched 80%, a performance he said is better than several European countries.

@IndianTechGuide Railway minister boasts about trains beating Europe on time while official data shows only around 80 percent punctuality and over one lakh services scrapped in five years due to poor planning and creaking assets.Stop the self praise and fix the rotten system.

@IndianTechGuide I’d still pick Europe’s speed over India’s punctual slow-motion any day.

@IndianTechGuide Yeah, they are very punctual that they reach the destination a day later. Don't send notification when the train is really late but send one every 5 minutes if it's half hour late. Don't even let the payment gateway charges and fees when the train is very late.

@IndianTechGuide People believe so much foreigners video that they troll our infrastructure. They want everything to be done within 10 years of government, but they will not say anything about the Congress of 60 years, what they have done. People need to grow up

@IndianTechGuide A massive thanks to Deutsche Bahn for having such poor punctuality that it made the Indian Railways look like Switzerland.

@IndianTechGuide Yes sir he's the one who shamelessly stuck to his position instead of resignation after so many railway accidents he has zero accountability a shameless creature

@IndianTechGuide LOL. Why don't we have a public dashboard that shows all trains which are running late, which are on time etc? Let's see what that data shows.

@IndianTechGuide What are statistics. Trains are slow. Over loaded. Waiting. Reservations not available. It’s 50 years behind any country worth comparing.

@IndianTechGuide What a shameless creature! Indian railways under Reel Minister @AshwiniVaishnaw are in shambles, not even a bit close to the European railways no matter whether it comes to cleanliness, maintenance, or punctuality.

@IndianTechGuide If you believe Indian Railways is more punctual than several European countries, then why not share a proper comparison of train timings between India and Europe? That would make the claim clearer. Reel banao..!

@IndianTechGuide Maxm Special Train delayed with no pantry services! Passengers are being charged extra for basic food & water. Essentials unavailable Need to improve it

@IndianTechGuide Indian Railways :

@IndianTechGuide Trains in India arrive on time… just not the day you’re travelling

@IndianTechGuide they aren't as bad as people like to say they are, in europe there are less number of trains and lesser passengers so they are less punctual on average, and in india counting the frequency of travelers and the trains are more punctual.

@IndianTechGuide @grok compare indian railway punctuality woth European countries

@IndianTechGuide @grok check facts

@IndianTechGuide Arre yeh kab hua 🤔🤔🤔

@IndianTechGuide Railways getting emotional on hearing about their punctuality -

@IndianTechGuide @EU_Commission @BritishRailNews @BBCWorld Indian railway minister says many trains are not punctual in Europe? Is it true? and he says Indian railway is more punctual. Do you agree?
