Indian Railways to Revamp Non-AC Trains Following Mumbai Rail Tragedy

In response to a recent tragedy in Mumbai where four commuters died after falling from overcrowded local trains, Indian Railways has announced plans to redesign its non-AC trains. The redesign will include the installation of automatically closing doors and improved ventilation systems. According to the Railway Board, the new trains are expected to be ready by November 2025 and put into service by January 2026, following necessary testing and certification. The changes aim to address the issue of overcrowding and improve passenger safety.
