Indian Railways has taken a bold move by introducing a new train equipped with AC3 tyre economy boxes.

The country's largest public-sector undertaking, indian Railways, runs thousands of trains every day. Hundreds of millions of people utilize it. On these trains, the fare for AC class boxes will be higher. 


As a result, in february of this year, indian Railways introduced 'AC3 Tire Economy' boxes, allowing people from all walks of life to travel in AC class train compartments. The concept was created at Kapurthala's Railway Box Factory.

RDSO produced the boxes and had the driver test them at a speed of 180 kilometres per hour. All you have to do is pay 8% less than the cost of a standard AC3 tyre. There will be 83 beds in the AC3 tyre economy boxes.


It's worth noting that this is an increase of 11 over standard AC3 tyre boxes. air conditioning, special lighting for passengers to read, charging points, bio-toilets, and unique ramps are all available in these cabins.

There are fireproof beds available, as well as a folding table for crushing food. Since September, trains running on the country's key routes have been offered at a rate of three compartments per person to bring the concept to the public. By the end of the year, the railway administration has decided to provide 800 boxes.


Aswini Vaishnav, the Union Railway Minister, recently told reporters that plans are in the works to run the entire train on AC3 tyre economy boxes. He stated that it would be available for public use soon. 

During the first christmas season, the AC3 tyre economy coaches will be fully operating. This will be discussed and agreed on shortly. According to him, every railway zone requires at least 16 to 18 boxes under the current situation.
