This facility by the Indian Railways is being touted as the cheapest and best AC travel in the world. The price of ticket of these train coaches will be much cheaper than the regular 3 AC-tier. It is said that it will be somewhere in between current AC three-tier and non-AC sleeper class.  

"Many innovations have been incorporated in the design of the coach and the high voltage electric switchgear currently installed on board has been shifted below the under frame, thereby increasing the passenger capacity by introducing 11 additional berths, said the Indian Railways in a statement.  

The Railways also stated that each coach is provided with a wider and one disabled friendly toilet entry door which is a new initiative.  

“Several design improvements have also been made for improving passenger comfort like redesigning the AC ducting to provide individual vents for each berth,” it said.
