The reservations would be open and the Indian Railways will make an official announcement about the same very soon.

The statement told "The Ministry of Railways has decided that all the regular Time Tabled Trains which are presently operating as MSPC & HSP train services, included in the Working Time Table, 2021, shall be operated with regular numbers and with fare and categorization as applicable". There would be no difference in the fare for the booked tickets and the regular trains will run with normal pricing that will be available on the portal of the Indian Railways.
