Coaches, Rail rakes(freight as well) are made at Risalpur, Pak Loco factory in KPK, and at Railway Carriage Factory near Islamabad, Pakistan...Locomotives are all imported GE USA and Chinese.
 

I remember there where 175-200 coaches being imported for China, and another 75 or so where supposed to be produced in Pakistan.

Also in 2017 arround 250 coaches where suppose to be imported.

If pakistan is producing the coaches, then its good, it will give needfull support to steel industry too.

Coaches are produced locally, but due to shortage a number of coaches could have been imported.

Excellent News. Good job Shaikh Rasheed. But please make strong laws and impose heavy fines on passengers who damage the train. For example, writing on the walls, tearing the seat leader, stealing the lights.. have frequent inspections..
