In a significant move to enhance passenger comfort, Indian Railways has announced an ambitious plan to produce approximately 10,000 non-air-conditioned coaches over the next two years.
This initiative aims to meet the growing demand for rail services and improve the overall travel experience for passengers.
- 2,605 general coaches, including Amrit Bharat General coaches
- 1,470 non-AC sleeper coaches, including Amrit Bharat sleeper coaches
- 323 SLR coaches, including Amrit Bharat SLR Coaches
- 32 High Capacity Parcel Vans
- 55 pantry cars
The dynamic nature of rail service demand, influenced by seasonal variations and passenger traffic growth, drives the need for these additional coaches.
The Railways’ Coach Production Programme is designed to be flexible and responsive to these changing requirements, ensuring that production aligns with demand.
