The new closed-door trains are part of efforts to improve safety and commuter experience on the city’s busy suburban network

The newly introduced EMU rake features a door-closing system aimed at reducing accidents caused by overcrowding and passengers travelling on open doorways

The system is designed to enhance safety during peak-hour travel, when Mumbai’s suburban trains are heavily crowded

Mid-day had earlier reported about the city soon to receive India’s first non-AC suburban local train with automatic door closure, marking a significant shift in the design of the city’s lifeline trains

The 12-car train is manufactured by the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai
