In a first-of- its-kind initiative, a coach of the Mumbai-Manmad Panchvati Express has been equipped with an Automated Teller Machine (ATM), marking it the first time that such a facility has been introduced onboard an Indian Railways train. According to officials, the ATM has been installed in an AC chair car coach of the express service and will soon be made available to passengers.

The ATM, provided by the Bank of Maharashtra, has been installed at the rear end of the coach, in a cubicle typically used as a small make-shift pantry space. The machine is protected by a shutter door to ensure security and ease of access while the train is in motion.
