The initiative covers 10 Bombardier EMU rakes of Central Railway for a period of three months, with a total contract value of Rs 9.72 lakh.

The campaign aims to inspire women commuters and highlight the achievements of Indian women across diverse fields through a socially relevant and impactful visual medium.

"This is a part of CR's initiative of non-fare revenue where 10 harbour line trains have been updated with these pictures. The CR will earn a revenue of Rs 9 lakh for three months by putting these pics as a part of campaign by the client (Reliance Industries Limited)," a Central Railway spokesperson confirmed the development.

At present, First-Class Ladies Coaches are marked with a standard logo depicting a working woman. Under the terms of the contract, the licensee bears the complete responsibility for conceptualization, design, printing, installation, maintenance and removal of the visuals.
