ICF Announces Vande-Bharat-Express for Jk, Unveils Plans for Vande Metro Project

The Integral Coach Factory (ICF), renowned as the world’s largest producer of railway passenger coaches, is set to introduce a Vande Bharat Express rake tailored for Jammu and Kashmir.

During the 75th Republic Day celebrations, BG Mallya, General Manager, addressed the workforce and revealed the upcoming projects. Mallya stated, “ICF is currently engaged in two significant endeavors. The first is the Vande Metro project, an upcoming fully air-conditioned inter-city train service. The prototype for the Vande Metro is scheduled to be unveiled by March of this year.”

He continued, “The second project involves the development of a Vande Bharat Express rake designed specifically for Jammu and Kashmir. This initiative includes necessary modifications to adapt to the challenging climatic conditions prevalent in the region. We anticipate the completion of this specialized rake in the near future.”

Mallya highlighted the achievements of ICF, noting that despite supply challenges, the factory successfully produced the 50th Vande Bharat rake last year. Additionally, he mentioned the collaboration with Chittaranjan Locomotive Works (CLW) in October, resulting in the creation of the Amrit Bharat push-pull train. This collaborative effort is aimed at enhancing the travel experience for the common man, providing a significant improvement over the existing options.
