The document summarizes the establishment of a new mechanical workshop by East Central Railway (ECR) in Harnaut, India. ECR established the workshop to overhaul 50 coaches per month and become self-reliant, as it previously relied on other railway zones. The workshop sits on 115 acres of land and has a staff of 1,200. It currently overhauls non-AC coaches at a rate of 20 per month but aims to reach 30 per month. The workshop's infrastructure was mostly completed in 2013 and plans to eventually overhaul AC coaches as well.

2. INTRODUCTION
• East Central Railway is one of the biggest zones of the Indian
Railways, comprising five divisions – Danapur, Mughalsarai,
Dhanbad, Sonepur and Samastipur. As per the rules, each coach
needs repair after 18 months of running. So, Railway factory
under ECR is being set up east of Harnaut railway station by the
Indian Railways. Foundation stone wad laid by then President of India,
Honourable A.P.J Abdul Kalam, along with Railway Minister Mr. Nitish
Kumar.
• East Central Railway had no carriage repair workshop and was totally
dependent on ER and NER. In order to be self-reliant and improve
efficiency, workshop for overhauling of 50 coaches per month has
been set up at Harnaut on Bakhtiyarpur-Tilaiya line of Danapur
division of East Central Railway.

officers and technical staff.The Harnaut workshop is being developed
on about 115 acres of land - workshop on 78 acres and staff quarters
on 37 acres.

project in-charge Sunil Kumar, the railways has installed machines,
including bogie testing appratus, surface wheel lathe, plasma profile
cutting machines and other essential plants required for smooth
functioning of the workshop. With an optimum capacity to repair 50
coaches per month, the factory has already started production through
its carriage repair shop. "The intermediary overhauling block and
periodical overhauling, has been made functional.
• In the first phase, repair of non AC coaches will be taken up. After
augmentation, we will also take up maintenance of the AC coaches," he
said.t has so far carried out 139 POH of Non AC ICF Coaches. Its
present outturn is 20 coaches per month and target from 1 April 2014 is
