I vaguely remember reading about some BEML manufactured AC/DC rakes. Perhaps this coach is among those made by BEML.

Binai I also had the same doubt that whether BEML manufactured this one, But my question is why only one coach? Or perhaps, BEML manufactured the entire rake, but experimented the design on only one coach for trial purposes or so..?

@Vijay - if you notice carefully, its very difficult to find one "entire" rake - the old 3xx AC/DC rakes are made of a mix-up of coaches, and never sequential. However, my guess is that BEML manufactured only A coaches, while the power cars and driving cars were made by ICF.
