Eighteen LHB coaches built at Kapurthala’s coach factory were shipped to Bangladesh, bringing ₹9.17 million in revenue to the Firozpur railway division.
The Firozpur railway division in Punjab has recorded a revenue of ₹9.17 million after exporting eighteen Linke‑Hofmann‑Busch (LHB) passenger coaches to Bangladesh. The coaches were dispatched as part of a bilateral trade arrangement aimed at strengthening transport links between the two neighboring countries.
All the exported units were manufactured at the Indian Railways' coach production facility in Kapurthala, a plant known for its modern LHB designs that meet international safety and comfort standards. The export marks a notable addition to India’s growing portfolio of railway equipment sales abroad.
Railway Division Manager Sanjeev Kumar said the shipment reflects the division’s commitment to leveraging domestic manufacturing capabilities for foreign markets. He highlighted that the revenue will support further upgrades and maintenance activities within the division.
The transaction underscores the broader push by Indian Railways to expand its export footprint, positioning Indian-made rolling stock as a competitive option for neighboring rail networks seeking reliable and cost‑effective solutions.
