Western Railway Builds Rs 307 Crore Maintenance Hub for 24-Coach Vande Bharat Trains in Sabarmati
Western Railway is developing a Rs 307-crore maintenance hub at Sabarmati, Ahmedabad, to service 24-coach Vande Bharat trainsets. The facility, part of Phase II of the Sabarmati Integrated Coaching Depot, includes specialised sheds for heavy repairs, wheel maintenance, and electrical systems. It aims to complete SS-I maintenance in 30 days and SS-II in 45 days, handling up to 12 and eight trainsets annually, respectively. The hub will enhance operational efficiency by reducing the need to send trains elsewhere for major repairs.
