Later, with the installation of plants and machines to repair meter-gauge and broad-gauge coaches and wagons, the workshop became fully equipped in 1953 at 800 acres of land. There are 25 different shops where repair work is done and around 1,200 items of spare parts and tools for carriage and wagon are manufactured.
