The Integral Coach Factory in Chennai plans to roll out the third rake of Vande Bharat Express in March 2022.
Chairman Railway Board Suneet Sharma inspected the ongoing work and expressed satisfaction over the progress made in the much-awaited project of manufacturing 102 Vande Bharat trains to be operated across the country.
“The shells of at least five Vande Bharat trains are in the final stages of completion. Electrics are expected to be fitted in a couple of months. We hope to roll out one rake by March 2022,” a senior ICF official told The Hindu on Saturday.
Capt. Brijesh Chowta, Dakshina Kannada MP, on Saturday urged Union Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman to facilitate speeding up of ongoing critical infrastructure works in the region, including Mangaluru-Bengaluru NH 75 widening, establishment of Indian Coast Guard Academy, and merger of Konkan Railway Corporation with the Indian Railways.
