Kazipet unit on track to roll out export-ready train sets by 2026
Vaishnaw said that India is poised to become an export hub for railway coaches. 'Prime Minister Narendra Modi gave a promise to the Telangana people for the coach manufacturing factory, and the dreams were fulfilled,' he told the media.
He added that modern, high-technology coaches will be manufactured at Kazipet, including export-ready trainsets.
Vaishnaw pointed out that the Kazipet manufacturing unit is a major and highly advanced facility in the country, as the prime minister is interested in the manufacturing unit due to several countries placing orders for coaches and metro engines after witnessing the Vande Bharat trains.
Kishan said that over 3,000 people will get employment through the manufacturing unit, which will benefit many families in Telangana.
