This output constitutes over 35% of the total population of coaches on Indian Railways. RCF is at the threshold of setting an all time record by manufacturing more than 1400 coaches during the Financial Year 2005-06 including around 150 stainless steel coaches and 260 AC 3 Tier coaches in corten steel shell design.[citation needed]
