No doubt IR is making efforts towards better capacity augmentation but even presently not all chair car DDs are that successful.. am sure sleeper double decker would have been a better and desirable option. Maybe cost economics would have made IR skeptical

Official sketch of Double Decker coaches describes it's width as 3135 mm BTW standard height of OHE wires from track surface remains around 5.55-5.60 meter so if the height of Double Decker coaches increased from existing 4.3 meters to at least 5 metes then Sleeper berths arrangement in a AC 2nd configuration could be done both in upper and lower decks and as I have said running a 96 seat DD SL coach is far more better than a 120 seat Chair car coach for both railways as well as passengers. But for all this new DD coaches with new design and dimensions needs to developed but Railways isn't interested in that so its relaunching the old wine with a new name. God knows how they will provide Reclining seats+more legroom despite retaining the per coach carrying capacity as 120.
