Meanwhile, by flagging off a rake of 22 coaches recently, the MCF in Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh registered a record production of as many as 1425 coaches in the financial year 2018-2019, beating the given target. In the year 2017-2018, the target of 710 coaches was surpassed by the production of 711 coaches. This year as well, the MCF surpassed the target of 1422 coaches by manufacturing a total of 1425 coaches which is more than double of last financial year. Interestingly, in this financial year, the MCF has also manufactured new types of coaches namely- AC Pantry (Hot Buffet) Car, Under Slung Power Car, Non Air-Conditioned Chair Car and Track Recording Car for RDSO (Research Design and Standards Organisation). With an increase in coach production and also by increasing variety of coaches manufactured, the MCF is achieving new heights nationally as well as internationally.
Also, earlier this year it was reported that the MCF has manufactured as many as 152 LHB coaches in the month of January 2019, its highest ever. With new heights being achieved in coach production, all three coach factories are poised to perform even much better in the financial year 2019-2020.
