Indian Railway has ordered different coaches for Suburban Trains & this is apart from METRO coaches :
1. DEMU coaches on BEML during Jan'2012 for 20 Rakes of DEMU with 8 coach formation at the cost of Rs 20 / 21 Crore

2. MEMU coach Order on BEML during Feb'2012 for 8 Rakes comprising of two motor coach and six trailer coach

3. ACEMU 8 Rakes comprising of 9 cars order placed on BEML during Sept'2012

That means in backyard of Bangalore, even though DEMU / MEMU / EMU coaches are manufactured, but Bangalore do not get these coches for us.
SWR or DULT / IDD are struggling to get one Rake of DEMU / MEMU since last 3 Years and same rakes manufactured in Bangalore city are all over India.
Why can't BEML help the city by supplying one Rake of 6 coaches each for Bangalore every three months.
I think its high time that CM of Karnataka and Railway Minister interven and get the required coaches for Commuter Rail.

MEMU/DEMU service for the next five years. The Committee has recommended the use
of MEMU/DEMU for a distance of 160 kms. Based on the report, it is planned to acquire
55 units each of MEMU & DEMU (1 Motor Car & 3 Trolley Cars) per annum.
