The long-awaited first fully air-conditioned electrical multiple unit Rake (EMU) arrived in Mumbai on April 5.
Built at the cost of Rs 54 crore, the train doesn't have first class and general class division; the entire rake would be vestibule-connected (in two parts of six coaches each) and can run at the top speed of 110 kmph.
Its life expectancy is 35 years. AC local for Mumbai had been announced first in 2012-13 Rail Budget, but the project was delayed for several reasons.
