    Smart switch windows and opaque doors will greet passengers on the Delhi-Howrah Rajdhani Express as the Indian Railways ramps up its efforts to improve the travel experience for passengers. The new smart feature is available in the first AC coaches of the Delhi-Howrah Rajdhani train.

    The smart switch window offers passengers a sense of security and convenience. In the 'switched off mode', the smart window turns opaque, preventing UV radiation and also ensuring passenger privacy. This feature will replace the curtains that the trains had earlier in the wake of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

    For the comfort of passengers, the national transporter is likely to expand this feature to other trains. The upcoming Budget may lay out a plan for modern trains with state-of-the-art facilities. Tejas Express, Vande Bharat Express are all part of the national transporter's efforts to offer the Indian train passenger more amenities. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman, in her Budget speech last year, had announced the intent to introduce more Tejas trains that connect the country to iconic tourist destinations.

    With a revival in tourism now in sight, the Centre may reboot these plans.
