To enhance accessibility and passenger convenience, Central Railway’s Nagpur Division has launched an Electric Wheelchair (e-Wheelchair) facility at Nagpur Railway Station. This service is introduced under the Non-Fare Revenue (NFR) initiative, offering greater mobility, safety, and comfort to elderly, sick, and differently-abled passengers. This initiative aligns with Indian Railways’ broader commitment to promoting inclusive, world-class amenities and providing a seamless, barrier-free travel experience to all.

 

The e-Wheelchair facility consists of battery-operated electric wheelchairs designed for smooth and hassle-free movement across the station premises. Operated by trained staff, the service ensures safe and assisted mobility for passengers. The facility is available at all major entry and exit points, as well as platforms. Passengers can book the service in advance through the Deputy Station Superintendent (Commercial), at station help desks, or through the customer helpline. The service is offered at a nominal charge of Rs 100/- per passenger. This facility is expected to significantly improve the station experience for passengers requiring mobility assistance and reflects the division’s ongoing efforts toward inclusive infrastructure development.
