They will deliver one train per month and increase it to two trains per month by September, he added.

Over the last few months, I have been continuously following up with the train manufacturers - Titagarh Rail Systems - to expedite production." "The Minister of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) will visit the manufacturing plant on January 6, flag off the train to Bengaluru and also inspect the plant to help further expedite things," Surya stated.
