General Manager of Sri Lanka Railways – Dhammika Jayasundara says arrangements have been made to import 05 power-set trains equipped with automatic doors.
These fully air-conditioned trains with doors that automatically open at arrival and close at departure, will enhance passenger safety and convenience.
He noted that the carriages are designed for economy-class passengers and are similar to those used internationally.
He further said that an international tender has already been called for the procurement, and the trains are expected to arrive in Sri Lanka by the latter half of 2026.
