So as pantry is included the design of the coach will be changed the present hot buffet arrangements in the coach will pave way for berths. The overall capacity of the train will increase considerable from the earlier 823 traveller berth to over 1200 which means a complete new design from the prototype being manufactured in BEML. The target date next Sep 2025 may be stretched to 2026 Q1 as the design has to start from scratch.
