Namo Bharat Trains: Each coach has two high-capacity HVAC (Heating, Ventilation and Air Conditioning) units, which work together to maintain an internal temperature of around 25 degrees Celsius.

The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC), in a statement on Friday, said in a first in India, Namo Bharat trains are equipped with an advanced system where doors open only when a button is pressed by the commuter. Namo Bharat trains are operating on the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut corridor.

This 'passenger control mode' helps retain the cool air inside the coaches to enhance passenger convenience and significantly reduces energy consumption, it said.

"This feature comes as a welcome relief, especially during peak summer months when road commuters often face heat and dust. The clean, climate-controlled environment inside the Namo Bharat trains is proving to be a preferred option for students, office-goers, women and senior citizens alike," it said.

To ensure uninterrupted cooling, the AC systems undergo regular maintenance, with filters cleaned routinely. At the station level, platforms are open and well-ventilated to allow natural airflow. Additionally, premium lounges are fitted with large fans for added comfort and commuters have access to clean and purified drinking water free of cost, it stated.

The semi-high-speed trains currently run along a 55-km stretch from New Ashok Nagar in Delhi to Meerut South, covering 11 stations -- New Ashok Nagar, Anand Vihar (underground), Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Guldhar, Duhai, Duhai Depot, Muradnagar, Modi Nagar South, Modi Nagar North and Meerut South.
