Railways’ flagship production units have failed to meet the manufacturing targets of coaches, wheels, locomotives and other rolling stock for the first four months of this fiscal, with officials attributing it to the supply chain disruption caused by the Ukraine crisis.
Documents accessed by the PTI show that a recent performance review of the Railway production units found the manufacturing of these essential components was way below the proportionate target for the first four months of this fiscal.
The review meeting with the general managers of the factories was chaired by Railway Board Chairman and CEO VK Tripathi, where the production shortfall till July 25 was flagged.
