In June last year, the first rake of Tejas coaches capable of running at 200 kmph was rolled out and has been running successfully on the Mumbai-Goa section.
To provide travellers with an altogether different experience, luxury chair cars with LCD screens and personalised infotainment systems will be installed in the coaches.

The coaches would be equipped with remote-controlled Venetian curtains, and provision of vacuum toilets like in aeroplanes and sensor-based automatic sliding doors inside the compartment are planned to set up.


Moreover, for the jerk-free and comfortable ride, the coaches are provided with improved couplers and facilities like WiFi and a mechanism where passengers can call attendants by using the bell attached to the panel have also been added.
