Modern Coach Factory (MCF) Raebareli, on Saturday, May 2, 2026, rolled out its first 16-car Vande Bharat Chair Car rake. The rake is equipped with Siemens propulsion system.
Prior to its induction into regular passenger service, the train will undergo oscillation trials (Confirmatory Oscillograph Car Run or COCR trials) to validate ride quality, safety parameters, and dynamic performance.
The trainset features include comfortable seating, jerk-free travel, fully sealed gangways, and automatic plug doors for reduced noise levels.
The train is also equipped with the indigenous “Kavach” Automatic Train Protection system, advanced fire detection with aerosol-based suppression, and flood protection for underslung equipment.
The adoption of vacuum infusion technology ensures a superior, high-quality interior finish. The train is fully Divyangjan-friendly, with dedicated ramps, designated spaces, and specialised facilities to ensure accessibility for all passengers.
