Railway Board ne RCF Kapurthala mein bani nayi 16-coach Vande Bharat train ko conditional approval toh de diya hai, lekin kuch technical defects ki wajah se abhi operations par rok hai. Driver display aur electrical wiring mein kuch choti-moti lekin zaruri galtiyan pakdi gayi hain.
Kya hua hai? (Main Issues)
Railway Board ne inspect kiya toh paya ki jo train RCF Kapurthala se nikli hai, usmein kuch technical khamiyan hain. Sabse bada issue Driver Display Unit ka hai, jiska touchscreen sahi se react nahi kar raha. Socho, agar drive karte waqt display hi hang ho jaye toh kitni badi dikkat ho sakti hai!
Aur suniye, electrical side par bhi confusion hai. Inspection mein pata chala ki Circuit Breakers single-pole hain, jabki dusri factories ke models mein double-pole standards use hote hain. Iske upar, labels ki kami hai jisse maintenance teams ko troubleshoot karne mein paseene chhoot sakte hain.
Tech Specifications mein bhi farak
Board ne 270 kW wale traction motors ke power rating par bhi clarification mangi hai, kyunki yeh dusre variants se alag hai. Saath hi, fire extinguisher cabinets ke doors bhi thik se secure nahi paaye gaye. Filhaal train ki speed 160 kmph allow hai, lekin infrastructure ki limit ke wajah se yeh abhi 130 kmph par hi chalegi.
Investors ke liye kya matlab hai?
Indian Railways ab production ko decentralize kar raha hai—yani sirf Chennai ki Integral Coach Factory hi nahi, balki Kapurthala aur Raebareli ki Modern Coach Factory se bhi trains ban rahi hain.
Jab production itna bada hota hai, toh quality check aur consistency maintain karna ek bada challenge ban jata hai. Investors ko ab ye dekhna hoga ki kitni jaldi ye defects fix hote hain, kyunki iska seedha asar nayi Vande Bharat services ke rollout aur isse jude supply chain partners par padega.
