Central Railway (CR) on Thursday announced that six organisations have agreed to stagger their office timings, preventing their employees from taking the train all at once during the rush hour, thus reducing the burden on the Mumbai suburban railway. The organisations in question are the postal department, Bombay Stock Exchange, Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC), All India Association of Industries, Bajaj Electricals Ltd and IRB Infrastructure Developers Ltd.
In October 2023, CR revived the city’s debate of staggered office timings by formally announcing the implementation of much-awaited flexible working hours for all its employees to avoid rush-hour crowds so that railway employees do not end up jostling with commuters to reach offices in time. In November, it sent out letters to over 350 organisations, offices and business chambers with the appeal to start staggering their office timings.
