The Indian Railways has decided to expedite the manufacture of bio-toilets, which do not discharge on tracks and turn human excreta into an odourless substance with the help of bacteria in the tank.

The manufacture of about 2,500 such toilets — developed in a joint venture with the DRDO — is on the cards next financial year. The cost of each bio-toilet is estimated to be around Rs 1 lakh.
