Video: Indian Railways introduce first 'pod' rooms at Mumbai Central station

The facility has 48 pods, including 30 classic ones, seven for women, 10 private and one for the differently-abled.

The concept of ‘pods’, small, bed-sized rooms known as capsules, was launched by the Indian Railway Catering and Tourism Corporation (IRCTC), which opened the first such facility at the Mumbai Central railway station.

“IRCTC in collaboration with Indian Railways has commissioned its first sophisticated and state-of-art ‘pod’ concept retiring rooms at Mumbai Central,” said an official release. “Travellers will now get to experience a completely new boarding facility when they arrive.”
