[ad_1]
The coach factory not only fell short of the target in production of Vande Bharat trains, but also failed to meet the target in total production of all types of coaches. According to the documents, the factory manufactured 1,478 coaches against the target of 1,885 by the end of the financial year 2022-23. The factory could manufacture only 153 3HP MEMU trains by March 2023, against the target of 256. Similarly, it also fell short of its target for LHB coaches. All Vande Bharat trains running so far have been built at the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai.
Vande Bharat has not run in many states
The production of Vande Bharat trains at the factory is likely to begin by September, 2024, officials said. This year the Railway Board has given a target of making 64 Vande Bharat Express trains to RCF Kapurthala. A senior ministry official said the RCF is yet to complete the process of approving French multinational rolling stock manufacturer Alstom’s design for Vande Bharat trains. Vande Bharat train has not been started in many states of the country till now. These include Bihar, Jharkhand, Goa and Punjab.
