The first ever train to get upgraded to UTKRISHT rake was the deserving 12311/ 12312 Howrah- Delhi- Chandigarh/ Kalka MAIL, which is the oldest Express train running in Indian Railways. Rebuild at a cost of 60 lakh per coaches, Liluah Workshop did a really good work in upgrading the rake of this prestigious train to the UTKRISHT Standards.
