Due to a sharp rise in passenger demand caused by large-scale flight cancellations, Indian Railways has added 116 extra coaches to 37 premium trains, covering 114 additional trips across the country. These extra coaches have been introduced from 6 December 2025 to help manage the sudden increase in travellers.
Addition of Chair & Sleeper Class

These changes, effective from December 6, aim to support strong passenger movement between western India and Delhi. Meanwhile, East Central Railway has added 2AC coaches to the Rajendra Nagar-New Delhi Express (12309) over five trips from December 6 to 10, easing travel for passengers between Bihar and the capital.
Addition of Two Coaches by East Coast Railway

Increase in Capacity by Northeast Frontier Railway
