Hyderabad: Despite the Centre ignoring its promise to set up a railway coach factory in Kazipet under the Andhra Pradesh Reorganisation Act, Telangana will soon have one of India’s largest private rail coach factories. The rail coach factory established by Medha Group at Kondakal in Rangareddy district is ready for inauguration soon.

Being established with an investment of Rs 1,000 crore by Medha Servo Drives, the rail coach factory will manufacture coaches, locomotives, intercity train sets, metro trains and monorail. The facility has an annual capacity to manufacture 500 coaches of various types and 50 locomotives. It will also provide 2,200 jobs including 1,000 direct and 1,200 indirect jobs in the area.

On Sunday, Industries Minister KT Rama Rao announced that the Medha Group was ready to inaugurate one of the largest private rail coach factories in the country at Kondakal soon. “Proud that Telangana will soon be manufacturing & shipping out rail coaches. My sincere thanks to Yugandhar Reddy Garu & his able team on making this happen (sic)” he tweeted.

The State government had been repeatedly requesting the Centre to honour the promises made under the AP Reorganisation Act and establish the rail coach factory at Kazipet. It has even allocated 60 acres land and also released Rs 40 crore towards its component for the purpose. But the then union Railway Minister for State Manoj Singh in March 2016, declared that there was no scope to establish any coach factory in Telangana. However, the Centre readily consented to set up one at Latur in Maharashtra which was proposed in 2018, four years after a coach factory was proposed in Telangana initially.
