The Indian Railways plans to start manufacturing coaches for Vande Bharat trains at its two factories in Kapurthala and Raebareli during 2022-23, Railways Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw said on Wednesday.
Currently, coaches for Vande Bharat trains are being manufactured in the Integral Coach Factory in Chennai, he said in a written reply in Lok Sabha.
Vande Bharat trains, which were introduced in 2019, are self-propelled and do not require an engine. They also run at a semi-high speed of around 160 km per hour.
''There is a plan to start manufacturing these trains at Rail Coach Factory/Kapurthala and Modern Coach Factory/Raebareli during 2022-23,'' Vaishnaw said. At present, two pairs of Vande Bharat trains -- first on the New Delhi-Varanasi route and second on the Delhi-Shri Mata Vaishno Devi Katra route -- are being operated by utilizing the available rakes, he added.
