The Chennai-based Integral Coach Factory (ICF), which rolls out trains and coaches, hopes to make two more trainsets in Train 18 design this fiscal and ramp it up to eight in the next, a top official said on Tuesday.
"ICF will try to make two more Train 18 trainsets this financial year and up to eight in the next financial year depending on the allotment from the Railway Board," S. Mani, General Manager, ICF, told IANS.
He said the cost of the trainset is set to go down in a gradual manner as the volumes go up.
The prototype of a Train 18 trainset cost Rs 100 crore.
Meanwhile, the ICF got the approval of the Railway Board for rolling out four more Train 18 trainsets this fiscal.
The Board made the decision at its meeting held on December 5.
It said the ICF will be informed about the needed changes in its production programme.
The ICF has been asked to make the necessary arrangements for sourcing of material and schedule manufacturing activities to achieve the target.
The Train 18 prototype which is currently on trial, is a high-tech, energy efficient, self-propelled or engine-less train set to replace the Shatabdi Express.
It has aerodynamically designed driver cabins at both ends for quicker turnaround at destinations.
According to the ICF, every alternative coach is motorised to ensure even distribution of power and faster acceleration or deceleration.
The fully air-conditioned 16-coach train sports an advanced regenerative brake system which saves power.
