The new system has a holding capacity of 367.4 litres, compared with around 18 litres in the existing arrangement, substantially reducing the need for repeated emptying of bins during long journeys, according to CPRO NCR Shivam Sharma. The undergear collector has a specialised 3:10 taper design, which facilitates its quick removal for emptying and maintenance. The estimated assembly cost of each disposal bin is around Rs 12,000, with each coach having two bins on both exits.
