Railways Plan to Provide Bottled Drinking Water at Cheaper Rates to Passengers

New Delhi: August 19, 2010.

 

With a view to cater the increasing demand, in addition to the existing Rail Neer plants at Nangloi and Danapur, two additional plants are under commissioning at Ambernath (near Mumbai) and Palur (near Chennai) respectively. Further as per Budget announcement, Railways plan to provide bottled drinking water at cheaper rates to passengers through 6 more water bottling plants, proposed to be set up through Public Private Partnership (PPP0 route.

Out of 168 nominated stations for supply of Rail Neer, it was not supplied to 70 stations between May and June 2010. The demand for packaged drinking water peaks in summer months and priority is given to the supply of Rail Neer in trains, and as a result supply to static units at certain stations other than New Delhi station had to be discontinued in the months of May and June 200 with approval of competent authorities of IRCTC.
