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

NCRTC frames the move as a non-fare revenue initiative with strictly timed, staff-supervised access to trains and stations.

Overview

  • Under the new premises-hiring policy, individuals, event organisers and media companies can book static or running Namo Bharat coaches on the Delhi–Meerut corridor.
  • A mock-up coach at the Duhai Depot is available for static photography and video shoots.
  • Bookings start at Rs 5,000 per hour with an additional 30 minutes each for setup and pack-up outside the paid slot.
  • Activities are permitted only between 6:00 am and 11:00 pm, with simple decorations allowed subject to issued guidelines.
  • All events take place under NCRTC staff and security oversight to avoid disruption to commuters, with film, documentary and advertising projects covered by the detailed policy.
