The Indian Railways will replace the rake of Agartala-Anand Vihar special Rajdhani Express with Tejas sleeper coaches with upgraded facilities from Monday. With smart features, the coaches of this New Sleeper Type Tejas Train will offer best in class travel experience, the ministry said.

The national transporter plans to introduce 500 such luxury sleeper coaches in the next year to gradually replace the premium long-distance trains on the network. The ministry said this will be the beginning of a “new era of train travel experience”. The new train comes with smart sleeper coaches in the First AC, Second AC and AC 3 tier category. The Indian Railways has finalised the production plan for such special Tejas AC sleeper coaches at Modern Coach Factory Rae Bareli and Integral Coach Factory Chennai in 2021-22.

The new Tejas-style sleeper train is similar in its branding and colour theme to the AC chair car Tejas trains that already run on the network. These trains have automatic plug door and all main entrance doors have centralised control functions with the guard. Train will not start until all doors are closed, an official release said.
The features of new Tejas-style Rajdhani Express include improved seats and berths, reading light for each berth, air quality measurement for AC system, mobile charging points next to each berth and roller blinds on windows for better hygiene.

The other features include modular bio-toilet with vacuum assisted flushing, touch-less fittings, marble finish with anti-graffiti coating, toilet occupancy sensors, gel coated shelf, door latch-activated light new design dustbin and one mother and baby friendly toilet in each coach.
