New Delhi. Modern Coach Factory (MCF), Rae Bareli, working under the Ministry of Railways, has achieved a major achievement. This factory produced its 15,000th railway coach on 15 December 2025. This achievement has been achieved during the current financial year 2025-26. So far in this financial year, MCF has manufactured a total of 1,310 coaches. MCF is a new production unit of Railways, but in a very short time it has made a strong mark in railway coach manufacturing. Crossing the figure of 15 thousand coaches is the result of the hard work and teamwork of the officers, employees and contract workers working in the factory.
Of the 15,000 coaches manufactured so far, 7,000 are AC coaches and 8,000 are non-AC coaches. These include Humsafar, Tejas, Antyodaya, Deendayal, Bharat Gaurav Coach, Brake Van, Parcel Van, Track Recording Car, Economy Coach, MEMU Coach and special coaches made for Mozambique. All the coaches manufactured at MCF are designed as per the set quality standards, so that the passengers can get a safe, comfortable and reliable journey. On this occasion, MCF General Manager PK Mishra congratulated all the officers, employees and contract workers associated with coach manufacturing. He called upon everyone to work hard in the same manner and take MCF to new heights.
