Modified COVID-19 trains have entered service, with the first one running between CSMT and Manmad. Modifications done by railway engineers have reduced the need to touch amenities by hand to help passengers feel more confident about travelling.

A senior official said that the modifications were carried out at the Manmad Workshop. "As a special measure, in these trying times and for the safety of passengers, Manmad depot has re-engineered amenities and provided foot-operated taps that would prevent commuters from touching the taps. Efforts are being taken to also provide foot-operated flush valves in the washroom. As of now, this has been done in three coaches. Based on passenger feedback, changes would be made to other coaches."
