My worst fears regarding rakes to be procured in MUTP phase 2 have come true. It is now official. ICF will build the coaches for phase 2 as well. This page on the MRVC website gives details of projects planned under MUTP-2. Executing agencies mentioned for procurement of rakes are MRVC & ICF.
I am not having any expectations from the new rakes at all. This will help avoid disappointment when the rakes arrive and their “world class” features & qualities are exposed for the world to see 😉 We should now get ready for rakes that are even more swankier and even more world class than phase 1 rakes 😀
MRVC Mania - MRVC rakes & more! 
One must also remember that world class can mean anything from the best to the worst in the world ;-).
Arey, this was not at all a surprise !!!, This was much long known… even before new website of MRVC was commissioned. Remember a series of articles on MUTP2, which clearly mentioned that only the great ICF would manufacture phase2 as well. So, as you said, just no expectations. Only better thing is – getting to see a pure AC EMU rake with 3phase AC TMs
Yes, it wasn’t a surprise. But there still was 0.01 % hope left. This official confirmation crushed that too!
