Mysuru: The ‘Golden Chariot’ operated by Karnataka State Tourism Development Corporation (KSTDC) has been unable to reap golden benefits for KSTDC. Ever since it was launched in March 2008, it has incurred losses of over Rs. 40 crore.
The Golden Chariot’s 18 coaches are fitted with modern facilities and the train has seen a gradual dip in revenue collection. With foreign tourists comprising the bulk of travellers, the luxury train only boasts of 30 percent to 40 per cent occupancy per trip.
