The International Rail Coach Conference 2026 (IRCC 2026) is a premier global platform focused on the future of rail coaches and rolling stock systems. Organised alongside the International Rail Coach Expo (IRCE) 2026, the Conference will convene senior policymakers, Indian Railways, metro and rapid rail authorities, global OEMs, technology providers, financiers, academia, and industry leaders to shape next-generation rail mobility.

Indian Railways is witnessing a historic transformation driven by rapid capacity expansion, record coach production, deployment of modern train platforms such as Vande Bharat, Amrit Bharat, Vande Metro and Namo Bharat, and strong national commitments to sustainability and self-reliance. Rail coaches are evolving into high-value, integrated systems combining advanced materials, digital intelligence, safety technologies, energy efficiency, and enhanced passenger experience.

At this critical inflection point, IRCC 2026 will serve as a high-level knowledge and policy forum integrating policy, standards, technology, finance, and industry perspectives. The Conference will focus on future-ready design and manufacturing, global standards and certification, industrial ecosystem and MSME development, innovative procurement and financing models, and net-zero-aligned rolling stock solutions.

IRCC 2026 aims to deliver actionable outcomes and strategic roadmaps to strengthen India’s rail coach ecosystem, enhance passenger safety and comfort, and position India as a globally competitive hub for rolling stock manufacturing and exports.
