Indian Railways is working on a major plan to revamp Shatabdi and Jan Shatabdi trains to improve the travel experience. The Railway Board issued an official order on April 23, 2026, directing all zonal railways to create a detailed action plan for the inspection and upgrade of these services. This move aims to modernize these premium trains and bring them closer to the standards of Vande Bharat trains.
🚨: Delhi Traffic Update: New underpasses planned under railway lines in Anand Vihar and Nizamuddin।
What changes will passengers see inside the coaches?
The upgrade will focus on comfort and cleanliness across nearly 100 services. The railway will improve toilets by replacing doors, locks, washbasins, flushing systems, and drainage. Passengers will also get better seating with new upholstery, mobile charging ports, snack tables, footrests, armrests, roller blinds, and magazine pockets.
How will the ride quality and safety improve?
To make the journey smoother, the railway will work on reducing jerks in the coaches. Improvements will be made to the vestibule and gangway areas, as well as the overhead panels and flooring. For safety and information, the Digital Passenger Information System (PAPIS) and CCTV cameras will be upgraded. The exterior look, window glasses, and destination boards will also be refreshed.
