In a significant push for modernization, Indian Railways will manufacture 238 air-conditioned EMU rakes at three production facilities. Integral Coach Factory leads with the production of 120 units, while other factories contribute 71 and 47 rakes. This phased rollout, beginning in 2027 and concluding in 2030, is designed to align rolling stock enhancements with infrastructural improvements, focusing on the revitalized Mumbai suburban network.
