India’s First! Central Railway installs ATM inside a moving train, revolutionizing passenger convenience and onboard banking. Know how it works and its key benefits.
Mumbai: In a first for Indian Railways
Mumbai: In a first for Indian Railways, an Automated Teller Machine (ATM) has been installed aboard the Manmad Panchavati Express. The Central Railways has set up the ATM in an air-conditioned coach of the train and has successfully completed its trial run, marking a significant step in enhancing passenger amenities.
According to railway officials, the ATM functioned smoothly during the trial, with only a minor network disruption reported in the Igatpuri–Kasara stretch due to tunnel terrain and poor mobile connectivity.
If this pilot project proves successful, we are open to installing similar ATMs in more trains. This is part of our continuous endeavour to enhance passenger experience by providing basic banking services even during travel, a Central Railway spokesperson from the Bhusaval division told PTI.
