Antyodaya Express are a series of trains operated by Indian Railways. The trains were initially proposed to be overnight unreserved trains in the 2016 Railway budget of India, but were later converted to include reserved coaches. Antyodaya refers to the uplifting of the weaker section of a society. The coaches are designed by Indian Railways with features such as bio-toilets and dedicated power sockets.
The first service was inaugurated on 27 February 2017, between Ernakulam Junction and Howrah.[1]
The trains include dedicated charging ports, bio-toilets, vinyl sheets on the exteriors for aesthetics, safety measures such as smoke alarm and CCTV, water vending machines, coat hangers, and Braille indicators.[2][3]
