Indian Railways will soon launch new and improved coaches, which were ordered to assist in operating at 200 kmph speed.

These modern coaches come with automatic sliding door, stainless steel brake disc, sintered pads and electro-pneumatically assisted brake system.
Manufactured at the Rail Coach Factory (RCF) in Kapurthala, each coach is estimated to cost about Rs 3.25 crore.

A total of 20 coaches will be manufactured at RCF out of which four are almost ready and the rest will be delivered in June this year as announced by Railway Minister Suresh Prabhu in his last budget.

The new initiative involves manufacturing a rake of 20 coaches which comprises 14 AC chair cars, 3 Executive Chair cars and 3 Power cars.

Other features which are incorporated in these 200 kmph coaches include improved passenger safety and comfort. The coaches will have aesthetically pleasant interiors with spacious and ergonomically designed seats.

The lavatories of these coaches will have redesigned interior and equipped with vacuum evacuation assisted toilets. The plush interiors will have touchless fittings in taps, hand dryers and soap dispensers besides marble finish and anti graffiti coating on walls.
