Can you promote in r/indianrailways?

r/IndianRailways is a fan community for Rail Enthusiasts to discuss India’s Railway System - Everything from News, Issues, Updates, Photos & Videos, and most importantly, your Travel Stories. Share experiences and information respectfully, while following Subreddit rules and keeping all discussions civil.

The short answer

Do not promote or solicit; participate as a regular user answering non-commercial questions and seek explicit moderator permission before any promotional post.

What works here

  • Answer on-topic questions without promoting a product
  • Share original, non-promotional content related to Indian Railways
  • Post factual links/sources for non-OC content when relevant

What gets posts removed

  • Posting product launches, demos, surveys, or solicitations
  • Self-promotion or promotional links without prior mod approval
  • Selling services or tickets or recruiting customers
