The Rail Coach Factory at Kapurthala in Punjab has recently rolled out 28 low cost stainless steel coaches, which would be first introduced on the Amritsar to Jaynagar route for the Shaheed Express train. These newly designed coaches are similar in looks to the LHB German coaches which are being currently used in the Rajdhani Express and Shatabdi Express trains across the country. A Railway Board official said that the newly designed coaches are all set to herald an era of stainless steel coaches in the Indian Railways which would be used in all mail and express trains. The railways have, so far, introduced stainless steel coaches in the Rajdhani Express and Shatabdi Express trains only.
