The Rail ministry will take the final call on this, but it’s almost certain that even if the proposal gets the nod, high-traffic and crowded stations such as those in Mumbai, won’t be testing the idea.

"Surat station is massive, and there are people there who would actually pay to have their wedding receptions or parties on platforms as well," an official told the publication.

"We will propose platform no. 4 for the project as it has two-three booking offices, which is ideal for these kind of functions," the person added.
