Indian Railways to introduce Tejas, Hamsafar, Antodaya and Deen Dayalu coaches

Indian Railways are to introduce four different types of coaches very soon - these are the Tejas, Hamsafar, Antodaya and Deen Dayalu. It has been the tradition of Indian Railways that the minister introduce new types of trains and, there was a Garib Rath (Chariot of the Poor) which had been introduced to allow everyone to enjoy the luxuries of air conditioned train travel.
And, the present minister appears to be following in the footsteps of his predecessors.
This has been reported in indianexpress.com dated 10 July 2016.

Tejas will have high-tech entertainment units, wi-fi facility and integrated braille displays to enable passengers to get a feel of world class travel. Tejas coaches will have Executive Class and Chair Cars and will be equipped with 22 new features including entertainment screens for each passenger along with hand phone socket and LED boards for communicating safety instructions. There will also be tea and coffee vending machines, magazines and snack tables.
Hamsafar coaches will be 3-AC and have CCTVs, and fire and smoke detection and suppression system.
The color schemes will also be different for each variant. While the coaches of Tejas, meaning brilliance, will be of golden color, those of Hamsafar will be draped in vinyl sheets painted in the colors of earth and sky to convey the message of being the common man’s carrier.
Antodaya Express will be a fully unreserved train and Deen Dayalu coaches will have improved facilities for general class passengers.
