Punjab's Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala is set to roll out its first 20-coach Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) rake for Bangladesh Railway, part of a 200-coach order placed with RITES in 2024. The rake includes AC sleeper, AC chair, non-AC chair, and power cars, featuring new design elements. Bangladesh plans to induct these coaches between June 2026 and December 2027. RITES has previously supplied locomotives and coaches to Bangladesh and aims to increase deliveries in the current financial year.
