Mumbai Receives Upgraded Non-AC Local Train Prototype with Automatic Doors for Safety Trials
Mumbai's Central Railway has received an upgraded prototype of a non-AC local train equipped with automatic sliding doors, CCTV cameras, fire detection, and emergency communication systems to enhance commuter safety. Manufactured by Integral Coach Factory, Chennai, the 12-coach train will undergo fresh technical and safety trials on various suburban sections before regular passenger service. This initiative follows a 2025 accident highlighting risks from open doors, with authorities aiming to reduce such incidents despite potential impacts on station halt times.
