This is India's first non air conditioned commuter train with automatic doors.

After an incident last year on the Mumbai Suburban Network that took the lives of 5, ICF took the stand on making commuters travel in a safe space, this 12-coach rake of which the number hasn't been disclosed yet was delivered to Central Railway's Kurla Carshed 2 weeks back. This is expected to undergo tests in the coming days after minor work and numbering is completed. This rake is just a prototype model and a temporary adjustment while 2856 newer Vande Metro commuter coaches will be delivered in the near future.
In the pics you can see the doors, the vestibule that connects two coaches, the luggage/vendors section layed out in a metro style seating, first class with cushioned seats and general sitting class with metal ones. The interior and this whole EMU looks hideous in my opinion!
All pic credits go their respective owners!

The 7100 series are a subseries of existing 7000 series trains, the difference between the 7100 and the 7000 series is the 7000 series has traction motors from BHEL (Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited) while the 7100 series has traction motors from Medha Servo Drives Pvt. Ltd. You can also tell the difference by looking at the pantograph, in BHEL ones the pantographs are flipped. The 7000 series operates on both the Central and Western Lines while the 7100 operates on the Western Line as of now. Central Railway has also received 2 of it's own new 7100 series but was renumbered to the 8100 for some reason and both of which are undergoing testing.
