WAR IN Ukraine and vendors failing to supply components have caused Railways to slow down in meeting its yearly production targets in the first four months of this fiscal.
With the rest of the year remaining, Railways sources said multiple issues that affected production during the first quarter stand resolved and targets will be met by the end of this financial year.
Thanks to the war in Ukraine, supply of forged wheel that go into the LHB coaches could not arrive on time, officials said. As a result, Railways has produced 1,874 LHB coaches in its three production factories by August while the annual target is to produce 5,896 by March 31.
