The Railway Ministry has updated its upgradation scheme to include new train classes such as Vistadome non-AC, Vistadome coach, Executive Anubhuti, and Third AC Economy (3E).
The scheme allows for upgrading passengers to the next higher class based on available vacant accommodation, applicable to all types of trains with sitting accommodation.
The hierarchy for sitting accommodation upgradation includes classes like 2S, Vistadome non-AC, CC, EC, Vistadome coach, and Executive Anubhuti. For sleeping accommodation, the hierarchy is SL, 3E, Third AC, AC 2nd class, and AC first class.
Passengers booking full fare tickets are eligible for upgrades, and the new scheme also covers potential future classes introduced by the Railways.
