LHB coaches needs EOG which further needs good quantity of diesel. Old ICF coaches were running without these large generators. Use of Generators is again coming o diesel consumption on electrified lines. And its not the small amount. Addition to that EOG take place of 2 coaches which makes a 24 coach train to 20 coach train.
So its definitely not the thing that EOG is compulsory. It may be replaced by several different ideas which you can comment below.

energy density is too low for solar.
The RMPU for AC itself require 25kW, and there are two of them, one on each end of the coach.
add into it another 10 kW of lighting and small power load and your power requirement becomes 60 kW. for those 60 kW, using monocrystalline type panels (which give highest efficiency, but are very costly and have to be imported) you need an area of almost 5500 Sq. Ft. to realize how much area that is, consider this: total surface area of AC Coach is around...
