The Western Railway Mumbai division has announced plans to procure 126 new Automatic Ticket Vending Machines (ATVMs) in the current financial year to reduce queues at booking counters. The Mumbai division currently operates 344 ATVMs across 37 suburban and four non-suburban stations.

"A total of 117 of these ATVMs have completed their codal life and are being replaced with brand-new ATVMs. The replacement process is currently underway, and new ATVMs have already been installed at multiple stations," a Western Railway spokesperson said.
