It is written that 10 more vande bharats will come in next 3 months...

Hope they make Train 20 now. Goes without saying that its occupancy will also not disappoint.

---

I don't know how far tendering has been completed, but to manufacture 10 rakes in remaining 4 months of this fiscal sounds very tough. If tenders are awarded for supplies, only then there would be some rakes coming in this fiscal.

---

What is the average time taken to produce 1 LHB coach at ICF any idea ?

---

No sir, since ICF produces EMU, MEMU, DEMU and other uncommon coaches apart from LHB, I can only guess. When it was producing EMU rakes for Mumbai suburban system, they shipped one 12 car rake on average every month. With that in mind, and with enhanced production, my best guess could be one T-18 rake per month. To make more, they would need to cut production of other types of coaches. So unless produced at MCF or RCF or at both, it won't be possible to produce 10 rakes of 16 coaches in 4 months. And that too, only if the tendering is complete and orders for supplies are placed.

Its operational profit not overall. It takes more than 1.5 years to get the cost of the coaches it self

---

NDLS-CNB/LKO route has many premium & superfast trains already, with adequate quota between these cities..Tejas is the most expensive among all, but still managed to show 85% occupancy & decent operational profit..This shows that the travelers will always prefer quality service & assured ontime performance..

This is 1st month Sir.....wait for 1 year you will see the reality....many passengers are now traveling once just to get the feel , just to click photos with this train.......reality will come out after 1 year after this craze goes out from passengers.

---

In majority of cases Indian railways don't even register any operational profit either and that's not limited to normal mail/express trains, many premium trains including some Rajdhanis run in heavy losses. It's a good start for tejas.

---

Festive season has also contributed to its success but still it's a good start.

---

Anyone who travelling in this train on 19th, claim ur compensation.
