India is set to roll out its first rake of 19 LHB broad-gauge passenger coaches for Bangladesh Railway, marking another milestone in railway cooperation between the two countries.
Manufactured at the Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala, the coaches have been customised to meet Bangladesh Railway’s requirements. The first rake includes AC sleeper, AC chair, non-AC chair and power cars.
The coaches feature modern passenger and safety facilities, including CCTV surveillance, a baby-care room and a prayer room, along with strengthened roof structures and crashworthy design features.
The rollout highlights India’s growing role as a supplier of advanced railway equipment and supports efforts to strengthen regional rail connectivity and infrastructure cooperation with Bangladesh.
