In response to a recent tragedy where four commuters lost their lives after falling from crowded Mumbai local trains, Indian Railways has announced plans to redesign its non-AC trains. The new design will incorporate automatically closing doors and enhanced ventilation systems. Scheduled for completion by November 2025 and deployment by January 2026, these revamped trains aim to address safety concerns and improve passenger comfort. The Railway Board has detailed that the redesigned coaches will feature louvred doors and roof-mounted ventilation units to ensure a continuous supply of fresh air. Additionally, vestibules will be included to facilitate passenger movement between coaches and better distribute crowd density. The initiative follows an incident near Mumbra railway station in Maharashtra’s Thane district, where overcrowding led to the fatal falls. The victims were reportedly traveling on footboards when the incident occurred.
