Along with passenger convenience, this move will also boost security by allowing the police to track the live CCTV feed from every train compartment. 

In a statement, Railway Minister Piyush Goyal said, “It is a more complicated technology subject. Giving Wi-Fi in running trains requires investment... Towers need to be put and there has to be equipment inside trains. In this, we might have to bring in foreign technology and investors."

At present, Wi-Fi facility is available at around 5150 railway stations in the country. The Ministry plans to extend the service across 6500 stations by the end of next year.
