Modern Coach Factory (MCF), set up by Indian Railways in 2007 at Lalganj, Raebareli, Uttar Pradesh, is one of India’s most advanced passenger coach manufacturing units. Built at a cost of ₹3,192 crore with an annual capacity of 1,000 coaches, MCF is located just 3 km from Lalganj on the Kanpur–Raebareli Road (85 km from Lucknow).
The first fully in-house coach rolled out in August 2014. Since then, production has soared from 140 coaches in 2014–15 to a record 2,025 coaches in 2024–25, the highest in MCF’s history. Alongside stainless steel LHB coaches, MCF produces modern train sets, MEMU coaches, and even exported coaches to Mozambique Railways, marking its global reach.
