Rail Coach Factory , Kapurthala will achieve another significant milestone with the rollout of the 1st rake of 20 LHB broad gauge passenger coaches for Bangladesh Railway on 12.08.2026.

The rake comprises 03 AC Sleeper Cars, 03 AC Chair Cars, 12 Non-AC Chair Cars and 02 Power Cars. These coaches incorporate several unique design features and modifications, many of which have been developed for the first time in LHB-type coaches, reflecting RCF’s strong design, engineering and manufacturing capabilities.

The association between RCF and Bangladesh Railway began with the successful supply of 120 LHB broad gauge passenger coaches during 2015-16. Building on this successful partnership, Bangladesh Railway again entrusted RCF, through RITES, with a prestigious order in 2024 for 200 broad gauge passenger coaches in seven variants.

The successful rollout marks another proud chapter in RCF’s journey and will further strengthen railway cooperation between India and Bangladesh, while opening new avenues for international opportunities.
