New Delhi Station Security Boosted with 6 New X-Ray Machines
New Delhi Railway Station installs six new X-ray machines and passenger sheds to manage festive rush starting October 2026.
To tackle the massive passenger surge during the upcoming festival season, Indian Railways is enhancing New Delhi Station security with state-of-the-art technology. Effective October 31, 2026, the station will feature six advanced baggage X-ray machines designed to expedite the screening process and reduce congestion.
Streamlined Security for Festive Travelers
The installation of these high-tech scanners is a strategic move to manage the significant increase in footfall typically seen during major festivals. By speeding up baggage checks, the new machines will help prevent long queues and ensure a smoother experience for commuters passing through the hub.
New Shelters for Passenger Comfort
Beyond security, the authorities have also introduced new sheds within the station premises. These structures are intended to protect passengers from adverse weather conditions, such as:
- Direct sunlight
- Heavy rain
These improvements are part of a broader effort to enhance passenger convenience and manage the heavy crowds expected during the festive period.
