Indian Rail Coach Factory Builds New Rolling Stock for Kalka-Shimla Railway

The Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala, Punjab, has successfully developed new rolling stock for the 120-year-old Kalka-Shimla Railway (KSR). The railway is unique in that it uses a 762mm gauge track, meaning that creating new coaches presents significant challenges. The design team worked without any digital data for verifying design modelling, as there was no specific data available in Indian Railways for narrow-gauge tracks. The new shell superstructure and furnishing designs were developed based on 3D models created using old blueprints and sketches from the Kalka workshop. Once Railway Board approved the design, the factory moved to the product realization phase. Following successful testing, the prototypes of the fully furnished new coaches have been unveiled and will now undergo oscillation trials at Kalka. The coaches include innovative design features such as a 415V AC/110V DC EOG system, air brake system, panoramic windows, noise and vibration reduction, bio/vac toilets, intercar gangway, and aircraft-type seat mounting rails.

The Rail Coach Factory, based in Kapurthala, Punjab, is responsible for manufacturing and maintaining railway rolling stock. The factory was established in the year 1986, due to the increasing demand for railway coaches. It has since expanded, producing a range of high-quality coaches and wagons for Indian Railways and other railway networks both domestically and internationally.

The article mentions the RCF Design team, which worked on the design and manufacture of the new rolling stock for the Kalka-Shimla Railway. However, it does not refer to any particular individual.

Saudi Arabia Emerges as a Strong Player in Turbulent Global Financial Markets

The New Development Bank (NDB), also known as the Brics bank, is in talks with Saudi Arabia to join the institution as it looks to plug the financial gaps created by Western investment restrictions in Asia. The NDB has reportedly lent $33 billion to 96 projects since its inception in 2015, while the World Bank has disbursed $67 billion as of June 2022. The addition of Saudi Arabia may ease some of the funding pressure faced by the multilateral institution. However, the interest of oil-rich countries in investing in Asia has historically been cautious. Despite this, economists predict that Middle East funds will invest more in China as global funds withdraw. Meanwhile, bankers are eager for Middle East companies to list in Hong Kong as firms from elsewhere steer clear of the region.

The New Development Bank, or NDB, is a multilateral development bank focused on emerging markets, mostly made up of the BRICS bloc, including Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. The institution aims to finance infrastructure and sustainable development projects in its member nations and other developing countries. It was established in 2015 and has its headquarters in Shanghai, China.
