After the station pod hotel at Mumbai Central received a good response, the railways has now begun work on the sleeping pods at CSMT. Located on the ground floor, on the pathway of platform 18, the Japanese concept capsule hotel will be open to the public in a few months, before the monsoon.

The aim is to offer quality accommodation facilities to travellers, including backpackers and those planning an overnight stay, in a hygienic and comfortable environment. The pods at Mumbai CSMT will be 131.61 sq metres in length and located at the existing linen room, on the ground floor of the parcel building, next to the ladies' waiting room. Going by the global travel patterns, isolated sleeping pods are much in demand and the ones at Mumbai Central have got a decent response.
