The baby berths on the trains are designed to make it easier for women to travel with infants.
The new berths were launched on Mother's Day. They are foldable and have a stopper.
The straps that come with the berth can be used to secure infants.
The berths are only available in select trains.

The Lucknow and Delhi divisions of the Northern Railways have introduced baby berths.
If the feedback is positive, the railways will put baby berths on all trains. The Railway@Northern is on the social media platform.
The Lucknow division railway manager told The Times of India that the idea came from an engineer.
In a recent review meeting of the railway board, the idea by one Maharashtra-based engineer to create a feature which could support mothers while they travel along with their infants was introduced. He was quoted as saying that the idea had been given the shape of a baby berth.
The Railways will equip all trains with baby berths if feedback is positive.
Passengers won't have the option to book baby berths in advance.
"They can approach the on-board train ticket examiner to exchange the seat with a passenger who has been allotted the lower berth which has a baby berth attached with it," the official said.You can download your money calendar here and keep your dates with your moneybox.
