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

Russian DD SL coach ki capacity isliye kum hai kyunki usme Side lower or side upper berth nahi hai. 16 coupes/compartments hai upper or lower deck mila ker or per coupe 4 seats hai. Agar AC 2nd layout ko implement kiya jaye or side me bhi berths de to per coach 32 berths badh jayenge or per coach capacity 96 ho jayegi. Ye realistic hai kyunki coach ka width to fixed hai. 96 Sleeper berths 120 Chair car seats se definitely better hai.
itne bhide coaches h
gap dekhiye aamne saamne ki seat me
har seat pe ladai hogi
kuki bhartiya logo k pass samaan b bhut hota h
:D :P

Ministry has clarified that those upcoming would be of chaircar type kindly check recent news... That's the reason I wrote this blog, although I understand we need to wait for the blueprint of coaches
I do agree that the addition of side-berths will increase the capacity, but there are a few problems here, whether we follow our existing DD coach or improve it inline with the Russian design. The dimensions of the final coach become a problem, as RDSO identified in their reports. (The reports of the studies are available online).
The main advantage for the Russian systems is the height. The Russian coaches are about 5.3m high and provide about 2.2 metres of head-room per level. Our existing DD coaches are only 4.3m high and the bottom level is only 1.8m high, which is barely sufficient for luggage space + sitting head room + head room for the upper berth....

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.
