New Delhi: Indian Railways is expanding its services beyond travel, offering passengers a unique way to celebrate special occasions. The National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC) has introduced the option to host private events such as birthday parties, pre-wedding photo shoots, and media productions aboard Namo Bharat trains operating on the Delhi-Meerut corridor.
The initiative allows people to turn a regular train journey into a memorable experience. With modern coaches and aesthetically designed stations, Namo Bharat trains now provide a distinctive setting for celebrations and professional shoots.
Facilities on Offer
These trains are no longer just a mode of transport. They can now be booked for private events, making them ideal for birthdays, pre-wedding shoots, promotional content, and creative projects.
To support stationary shoots, NCRTC has also developed a mock-up coach at the Duhai depot, offering better control over lighting and setup.
Who Can Book
Individuals, event planners, photographers, and media agencies can book both stationary coaches and moving trains under the new policy.
Booking Charges and Rules
The booking starts at ₹5,000 per hour, with each slot including 30 minutes for setup and wrap-up. Events can be held between 6 am and 11 pm. While basic decorations are allowed, any setup that could damage the train’s interior or disrupt passenger services is strictly prohibited.
Available Locations
Bookings are available at select stations including Anand Vihar, Sahibabad, Ghaziabad, Duhai, and Meerut South. NCRTC staff and security teams will remain present throughout the event to ensure safety and smooth operations.
The move aims to attract more people to experience Namo Bharat trains in a new and innovative way, blending modern transport with celebration and creativity.
