According to reports, the number of charging points per carriage would be more-than-doubled, to cater for rising demand from passengers. So far, 7,977 sleeper coaches and 4,634 general coaches have been equipped with 18 charging points.
“Earlier, there were only eight mobile charging points in a coach. However, in keeping pace with the changing times, we have decided to increase the number of sockets to 18 as the use of mobile phone and laptop have gone up considerably,” a senior Railway Ministry official was quoted saying.
The additional power sockets are part of a drive to modernise Indian rail network, with Wi-Fi services now also available at many key stations.
