LHB Coaches Details : 
Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches are the passenger carriages of Indian Railways that have been developed with the collaboration of Linke-Hofmann-Busch of Germany and produced by Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala, Punjab, India. They have been used since 2000 on the Indian Broad Gauge (1676 mm) network of Indian railways. The coaches are designed for an operating speed up to 160 km/h and could go up to 200 km/h. However, they have been tested up to 180 km/h. 
Bangladesh Railway will import 120 modern LHB coaches from India at an estimated cost of Rs 367 crore (Bangladeshi TK 425 crore), with the first consignment of 40 set to be dispatched in March 2016 for Bangladeshi Railroads. 

This is the biggest-ever consignment of Linke Hofmann Busch (LHB) coaches to be exported by the Indian Railways ever. The export order of 120 LHB rakes/ coaches includes 17 AC first class, 17 AC chair car, 34 non-AC chair car with pantry, 33 Non-AC chair car with prayer room and 19 power car.
The manufacturing of stainless steel LHB broad gauge coaches for Bangladesh Railways is in progress at the Rail Coach Factory in Kapurthala, Punjab, India. 

The color scheme has been suggested by Bangladesh Railways. 

Export contracts are executed through RITES Ltd, a railway PSU. The contract agreement between Bangladesh Railway & RITES Ltd was executed on January 21, 2015, and subsequently between RITES Ltd and RCF on September 30, 2015 for supply of these coaches.
