Indian Railways has added Mumbai–Nizamuddin August Kranti Rajdhani Express train with upgraded Tejas rakes, making it the fourth Rajdhani to be upgraded with Tejas smart sleeper coaches, officials said.
Railways added these rakes in Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani Express, Agartala-Anand Vihar Rajdhani Express and Rajendra Nagar-New Delhi (Patna Rajdhani) Express. The first Rajdhani that was upgraded with Tejas rake in July 2021 was the Delhi-Mumbai Rajdhani followed by Agartala-Anand Vihar Rajdhani Express.
With the use of Tejas smart coach, Indian Railways aims to move to predictive maintenance instead of preventive maintenance. “The introduction of this modern Tejas sleeper type train for the long-distance journey is another paradigm shift by Indian Railways for enhancing the travel experience for the passengers,” an official release from the ministry said.
