There will be no dynamic pricing in Vande Bharat trains. However, there is a fare difference between locations in the to and fro journey as catering charges differ during day and night in the train. There will be only tea and dinner in return trip (i.e. Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram). Fare will also change based on the time of the travel. While booking tickets there is a tick box to opt out of food. If you are not opting for food, ticket charge will be less.
