Sonia Gandhi, Congress President on 7 November 2012 flagged off the first set of coaches from the modern rail coach manufacturing factory at Rae Bareli in Uttar Pradesh. Foundation stone for the Rs 1,685-crore for the Railway Coach Factory (RCF) was laid in January 2009. The Railways had acquired 541 ha for the factory, of which 283 ha belonged to private land owners. Once fully functional, 1,000 coaches are expected to be rolled out annually. These coaches would have higher carrying capacity and provides more comfort to passenger. Apart from resistance to corrosion, the coaches will be equipped with modular fittings, microprocessor controlled air-conditioning and environment-friendly controlled discharge toilet system.
