500 ml water bottle instead of 1 litre
All passengers on Vande Bharat trains are now provided with a 500ml bottle of Rail Neer Packaged Drinking Water (PDW). In addition, passengers will have the option to request an additional 500 ml bottle from the train staff without paying any amount, the department reported.

Water system to suit short trips
By providing 500 ml water bottles to passengers, the Railway Department aims to provide enough water bottles for long journeys of Rajdhani trains and short journeys of Vande Bharat trains.
This will prevent wastage of water, make better use of the limited amount of one liter water bottle and provide suitable water bottle systems for passengers for long journeys and short journeys, the department said.
A similar scheme is implemented on Shatabdi trains
The department has informed that the same scheme has been implemented in Shatabdi trains. Passengers traveling in these trains are provided with 500 ml Rail Neer bottles instead of the large 1 liter bottle, recognizing the limited water requirements for the 8.5 hour journey.
Action by the Department for water conservation
In a wider effort to promote water conservation, the Central Railway is actively using recycled water for cleaning coaches and platforms, using around one crore liters of recycled water every day through 32 recycling units. In addition, the installation of rainwater harvesting units at 158 ​​locations and the installation of three automatic coach washing stations further contributed to water conservation efforts. Further, the Central Railway has undertaken extensive afforestation projects, planting five lakh trees at various locations to restore and maintain the local ecosystem.
