Indian Railways' FY'25 coach production surges by 11%

The Indian Railways has announced that there would be an 11% surge in the manufacturing of coaches for the financial year 2024-25, as the three coach factories are gearing up for increased production.

According to the official coach production program of the Indian Railways, a manufacturing target of 7784 has been set for the next financial year (2024-25).

The Indian Railways operates three coach manufacturing units in the country ? the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) in Chennai (Tamil Nadu), the Rail Coach Factory (RCF) in Kapurthala (Punjab), and the Modern Coach Factory (MCF) in Rae Bareli (Uttar Pradesh).

It is anticipated that the Ministry of Railways will produce 7000 coaches by the conclusion of the ongoing financial year (2023-24), in accordance with the revised coach production program.

The target for the upcoming fiscal year encompasses the manufacturing of rapid metro, regional metro, and Vande Metro, which is a scaled-down version of the Vande Bharat Express trains.

The production of non-air-conditioned coaches for regional metro from the Integral Coach Factory (ICF) is set to more than double in 2024-25.

In the current fiscal year, the ICF is projected to manufacture 160 non-air-conditioned coaches for regional metro, with the target for the next fiscal year set at 400.

Similarly, the Rail Coach Factory (RCF) is slated to construct 308 non-air-conditioned coaches for regional metro in 2023-24, and this number is expected to increase to 400 in 2024-25.

The Modern Coach Factory (MCF), which is presently manufacturing only 32 non-air-conditioned coaches for regional metro, will witness a substantial increase in production in the next fiscal year, with a target set at 144.

In the fiscal year 2023-24, the Integral Coach Factory produced over 200 rapid metro coaches. However, neither the Rail Coach Factory nor the Modern Coach Factory manufactured any rapid metro coaches.

The total production in 2023-24 at the ICF was 3241 coaches, followed by MCF at 1919 coaches and RCF at 1840 coaches.
