NCRTC Opens Namo Bharat Trains and Stations for Private Events and Film Shoots

The move aims to generate ancillary income without disrupting regular service.

Overview

  • Individuals, event planners, and media companies can book static or running Namo Bharat coaches for birthdays, pre-wedding shoots, and other private occasions.
  • Bookings start at ₹5,000 per hour, with an additional 30 minutes each allocated for setup and pack-up.
  • Events are permitted between 6 am and 11 pm under NCRTC staff and security supervision to maintain safety and operational protocols.
  • Simple decorations are allowed under guidelines, and activities must be arranged to avoid inconvenience to commuters.
  • A detailed premises-hiring policy also covers short-term film, documentary, and advertising shoots, including access to a mock-up coach at Duhai Depot and stations such as Anand Vihar, Ghaziabad, and Meerut South.
