Anubhuti, which means a spiritual experience, are the new coaches that will provide state-of-the-art facility to passengers of select Rajdhanis and Shatabdis.

“With increasing popularity of Shatabdi and Rajdhani trains, thereis also a demand for higher travel comfort. Responding to this need, to begin with, IR will introduce one such coach in select trains which will provide an excellent ambiance and latest modern facilities and services,” the minister said in course of his speech in Parliament.

These special AC coaches will give excellent ambiance with commensurate fare.

These trains will have free wi-fi, a system to connect with the onboard staff with even SMS and emails.
