IRCTC pod hotel design:
 
The design and specifications of the pod capsules are going to be similar to the pod hotels which are already operational in India. The very first pod hotel in the country opened in Andheri in the year 2017. It is a privately-run pod hotel.
 
IRCTC pod hotel cost/charges:
 
The cost of availing the accommodation at the upcoming pod hotel is expected to be cheaper than the cost of the retiring rooms at Indian Railways stations.

--The pods will provide the accommodation facility for upto 12 hours. The capsules will be divided into two types, namely classic and suite.
 
--The classic pods will provide accommodation to one passenger and will be equipped with facilities such as baggage space, locker, charging sockets.
