Indian Railways is planning to introduce a new class of 'Economy AC Coaches' to make the journey much more affordable. The fares of this new class will be less than 3AC tariff.
The proposed fully AC Train will have a Three-Tier Economy AC Coaches apart from AC-3, AC-2 and AC-1. A temperature of around 24-25 degree celsius will be maintained so that Passengers needn't have to use blankets. Demand for AC Coaches have increased tremendously in the recent years. These new Trains will be introduced in selective routes. The agenda is to ensure comfortable journey for maximum number of passengers by protecting them from heat wave.
As of now, Express & Mail Trains have Sleeper, Third-AC, Second-AC & First-AC. Whereas, Trains such as Tejas, Humsafar, Rajdhani & Shatabdi are fully air-conditioned.
