Modern coach factory –\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>\n

In India, there are two more rail coach factories in Perambur, Tamil Nadu and Kapurthala, Punjab. But Modern Coach Factory is the only one which utilizes modern technology and eco-friendly practices to make the whole ecosystem pleasing to work in.<\/p>\n

The rail coaches are manufactured here with the help of robots configured by computers leading to maximum precision in rail coach design. The bogeys manufactured in this facility have capability to run between 160-200 kmph as compared to the bogeys manufactured in traditional coach factories which can go up to 130 kmph only.<\/p>\n

The coaches are installed with comfortable interiors and bio-toilets for sanitation. At various places inside the coach including washrooms, braille is used to help those who are differently able.<\/p>\n

It is our responsibility also to keep these coaches clean. Isn’t it?<\/em><\/h2>\n

The manufacturing plant uses world’s largest daylight harvesting project. Sunlight is harvested and spread in\u00a0such a way that it lights up the campus as if it was lit by artificial light. At the same time it keeps temperature comfortable to work in. The exhaust system of this factory is completely powered by wind energy. The 2 MW solar power plant saves almost 20.52 lakh units of electricity annually.<\/p>\n
