If you happen to take the Jan Shatabdi Express from Dadar to Madgaon on the Mumbai-Goa route, you can enjoy the picturesque landscape of Western Ghats through the Vistadome glass roof of the air-conditioned coach, thanks to Saint-Gobain.

The rooftop panel is made of SGG Priva-Lite, a glass that becomes transparent/translucent at the click of a switch.

We are delighted to partner with Indian Railways to transform train travel in India and make it luxurious with a beautiful view of the landscape,” said Santhanam, president and MD–Flat Glass (South Asia, Malaysia & Egypt), Saint-Gobain.
