In a bid to enhance passenger convenience and address concerns regarding water wastage, the Northeast Frontier Railway (NFR) has announced the provision of 500ml Rail Neer Packaged Drinking Water (PWD) bottles across all Vande Bharat trains. This initiative, in alignment with the broader vision of Indian Railways (IR), aims to minimise the depletion of precious drinking water resources, especially during the ongoing summer season.
Effective immediately, each passenger travelling on Vande Bharat trains will be furnished with a 500ml water bottle. Furthermore, passengers will have the option to request an additional 500ml bottle of water at no extra cost, ensuring accessibility to an adequate water supply throughout their journey.
Recognising that most Vande Bharat travellers embark on short-distance trips, the introduction of 500ml bottles aligns with their needs, offering both convenience and environmental benefits.
