It is written that 10 more vande bharats will come in next 3 months...
Hope they make Train 20 now. Goes without saying that its occupancy will also not disappoint.
I don't know how far tendering has been completed, but to manufacture 10 rakes in remaining 4 months of this fiscal sounds very tough. If tenders are awarded for supplies, only then there would be some rakes coming in this fiscal.
What is the average time taken to produce 1 LHB coach at ICF any idea ?
No sir, since ICF produces EMU, MEMU, DEMU and other uncommon coaches apart from LHB, I can only guess. When it was producing EMU rakes for Mumbai suburban system, they shipped one 12 car rake on average every month. With that in mind, and with enhanced production, my best guess could be one T-18 rake per month. To make more, they would need to cut production of other types of coaches. So unless produced at MCF or RCF or at both, it won't be possible to produce 10 rakes of 16 coaches in 4 months. And that too, only if the tendering is complete and orders for supplies are placed.
