Titagarh Wagons’ (TWL) plant in Italy has rolled out the first train for Pune Metro coach, out of the 34 trains. Titagarh Firema SpA, a wholly-owned subsidiary of city-based Titagarh Wagons, had in August 2019 won a Rs 1,100 crore international bid to supply Pune Metro as many as 102 ultra-modern aluminium-bodied coaches.
Three of the 34 trains will be manufactured in Italy and the rest in India. Titagarh Wagons has modernized its plant in Kolkata to produce those 31 trains. The first wave Covid-19 pandemic had delayed the rollout of the train.
TWL is the largest private sector manufacturer of railway coaches (EMUs, MEMUs) and the largest wagon maker (other than Railways).
