Indian Railways Plans Production of 10,000 AC Coaches in Coming Years

Indian Railways has unveiled a significant initiative to manufacture 10,000 air-conditioned (AC) coaches in the coming years. This ambitious plan underscores the railway's commitment to improving passenger comfort and increasing capacity to meet growing demand.

The production of these AC coaches will be part of Indian Railways' efforts to modernize its rolling stock and provide enhanced amenities for passengers across its extensive network. The initiative aligns with the government's focus on upgrading rail infrastructure to ensure safe, comfortable, and efficient travel experiences.

The announcement comes amid ongoing efforts by Indian Railways to enhance its service quality and passenger amenities, including the introduction of modern facilities and technology-driven solutions. The addition of 10,000 AC coaches is expected to cater to the rising preference for air-conditioned travel among passengers and improve overall travel experience.

The manufacturing plan also aims to boost domestic production capabilities in the rail sector, supporting the government's Make in India initiative. Indian Railways' endeavour to ramp up AC coach production reflects its proactive approach towards meeting evolving passenger expectations and advancing towards a modern, efficient railway system.
