IR plans to run trains operated by private firms in 103 routes with 156 rakes. The list of the sectors/rakes is given below in an easy to view table.

These sectors have been further split into 12 clusters- 4 clusters for Mumbai region, 3 for Delhi- and one each for Patna, Guwahati, Chennai, Secunderabad and Howrah.
These operators are likely to run 16 -coach trains along these high-density routes and tap unfulfilled demand for a 35-year concession period.
