Watch: Railways launches India's first ATM on wheels trial on Manmad-CSMT Panchvati Express

NEW DELHI: Indian Railways has successfully conducted a trial run of the country’s first onboard ATM, installed on the Mumbai-Manmad Panchvati Express—bringing the option of cash withdrawal right in your train.
Railway minister Ashwini Vaishnaw shared a video on X, stating: "In a first, ATM facility in train."

The ATM is situated in a cubicle at the coach's rear end, utilising space previously used as a temporary pantry. For passenger safety and access during the journey, the facility includes a shutter door.
"The ATM was properly secured for its maiden journey with rubber pads and bolts for vibration isolation. Two fire extinguishers have also been provided in the allotted space," railways said.
A private bank has provided the ATM, which is installed in an air-conditioned chair car coach of this daily express service, Central Railway (CR) officials had told news agency PTI on Tuesday.
The required coach modifications were completed at the Manmad Railway Workshop, according to railway officials.
"The ATM has been installed on board the Panchvati Express on experimental basis," Swapnil Nila, chief public relations officer of the CR had earlier said.
The Panchvati Express runs daily between Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj Terminus and Manmad Junction, taking about 4 hours and 35 minutes for a one-way trip.
It is a popular choice for intercity travel due to its convenient timing.
