- With the latest initiative by Indian Railways, passengers can now pay and obtain filtered potable water at railway stations.
- Ministry of Railways in an attempt to provide potable water at stations has developed a comprehensive policy to install Water Vending Machines or WVMs.
- Passengers can pay, starting from Re. 1 for a glass to Rs. 20 for five litres, to get filtered water. Vending machines will be installed at railway stations across the country.
- The water supplied through these machines will be frequently checked (at least once a month) through suitable device by the Health Inspector/ Medical Personnel.
- The aim is to provide pure drinking water at cheaper rates than packaged mineral water.
- This will be handled by Indian Railway Catering & Tourism Corporation (IRCTC) and the machines will be installed by authorized agents only. They will be equipped with RO (Reverse Osmosis) technology or any other alternate superior technology.
- The transaction of the amount of water and cost will be displayed on a LED screen so that customers can verify their purchase.
