Railways will also add 2 to 4 'Deen Dayalu' coaches to some long-distance trains, Suresh Prabhu said.
Union Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu today announced four new categories of trains, one for unreserved passengers and three for reserved ones, which will be operational in the next couple of months.
"The reason behind starting new train for unreserved passengers is to ensure that those belonging to the 'Antodya class' (very poor people) can also travel by train," Mr Prabhu said.
The minister was speaking after a Memorandum of Understanding was inked between city-based National Academy of the Indian Railway (NAIR) and MS University of Baroda in the presence of Gujarat Deputy Chief Minister Nitin Patel.
"It is the vision of Prime Minister Narendra Modi to provide travelling facility to this (Antodaya) category of people," he added.
"The Antyodaya Express, a long-distance, fully unreserved, super-fast train service is to be introduced for the common man and it will operate on dense routes," Mr Prabhu said.
As per the minister, the Railways will also add two to four 'Deen Dayalu' coaches to some long-distance trains for unreserved travel to enhance the carrying capacity.
"The other trains to be introduced are Humsafar - a fully third AC train. The Tejas category of trains will run at 130 km an hour with local cuisine, Wi-Fi and other amenities on board," Mr Prabhu added.
"The final category is UDAY (Utkrisht Double-Decker Air-conditioned Yatri), which will be overnight trains plying on the busiest routes to increase capacity by 40 per cent," Mr Prabhu.
"It (introduction of four trains) is in an attempt to enhance railway services across the country. The Railway ministry does not want the state chief ministers to visit New Delhi on eve of the presentation of Railway Budget for including their state's demand in the Budget," he added.
"Now the ministry has been approaching all the state governments to join hands with the Railways and jointly float companies to execute projects in their respective states," Mr Prabhu said.
