Western Railway Opens First Station Co-Working Lounge at Mumbai Central

Western Railway expects the five-year lease to yield about ₹3.2 crore in non-fare revenue.

Overview

  • The operational lounge spans roughly 1,700–1,712 sq ft with 58 seats including six recliners in a two-level air‑conditioned space near the main concourse.
  • Entry costs ₹200 for the first hour and ₹150 for each additional hour, with recliners priced at ₹700 for up to two hours and meals or showers available at extra cost.
  • Amenities include high-speed Wi‑Fi, multiple charging points, modular workstations, dedicated meeting and video‑conferencing rooms, self-service refreshments, and upgraded washrooms.
  • Ten 11 Hospitality LLP runs the facility under its INEJ Lounge brand under a five‑year agreement.
  • Western Railway positions the site as a template for potential rollouts at Andheri and Borivali after earlier tenders at suburban stations saw limited response.
