Summary:
As fares of the sole AC rake in Mumbai are relatively expensive, this train fails to run to full capacity. After the ICF delivers the AC rakes in Mumbai, six coaches of non-AC rakes will be attached to them. That is why six coaches of non-AC Medha-manufactured rakes will be replaced by six coaches of the Medha AC rakes,” said Mani. In all, 76 non-AC suburban local trains will be partially air-conditioned. Partial air-conditioning of rakes is an ambitious project of Railway Minister Piyush Goyal to popularise AC travel on the suburban line..
