A rail coach refurbishing and rehabilitation factory will be set up in Haryana which will facilitate industrial development and job creation in the state, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said while laying the foundation stone of the factory on Tuesday (9 October), reported the Economic Times.
Modi was addressing a public meeting in Sampla to honour the leader of the farmers and peasants Chhotu Ram. His statue was inaugurated by the PM.
Prime Minister said that the factory will be set at Barhi in Sonipat district at a cost of Rs 500 crore.
He said that the factory will repair and modernise 250 passenger train coaches every year and there would be no need to send coaches for repairing in other parts of the country.
“With this factory, the availability of passenger coaches will also increase and people will get the benefit of comfortable coaches,” he said.
Prime Minister said that the benefit of the factory will not remain confined only to Sonipat and will provide a boost to the industrial growth of the state.
“Small industries will also benefit with the setting up of this factory as they will be able to supply seat covers, fans, electrical fittings, etc,” he said.
Prime Minister also said that the factory will not only provide job opportunities to the youth but will also help in developing special skills.
“Engineers and technicians will be able to develop local expertise because of this rail coach factory,” said Modi.
The project which is spread over 160 acres is expected to be commissioned in 2020-21.
