Mumbai Central gets India’s first co-working space at railway station

MUMBAI: India’s first co-working office and digital lounge at a railway station has been opened at Mumbai Central on Wednesday, offering passengers a workspace while waiting for their trains instead of spending time in conventional waiting areas.

The ground-plus-one, air-conditioned facility has 58 seats, including six recliners, and is open to both the general public and railway passengers. An entry fee of ₹200 allows access for one hour, with an additional charge of ₹150 for every extra hour. Refreshments such as tea and coffee are available on an unlimited basis during the stay, though food prices are on the higher side.
