Titagarh Rail Systems starts trainset production for Bengaluru Metro's Yellow Line

14 Jun 2024 Evaluate

Titagarh Rail Systems (TRSL) has commenced the production of trainsets as part of a contract with China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) for the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation's (BMRCL) Phase 2 Yellow Line project. This marks a significant milestone in Titagarh’s ongoing contribution to India's urban transportation infrastructure.

The contract between BMRCL and CRRC Nanjing Puzhen Co, signed in December 2019, encountered challenges, which led to delays in meeting the original deadlines. To address the delay in the rolling stock supply, CRRC sought additional time and subsequently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Titagarh Rail Systems. Under this MoU, Titagarh will manufacture the trainsets at its state-of-the-art facility in Uttarpara.

Under the agreement with BMRCL, Titagarh is responsible for producing 34 of the 36 trainsets needed for the Yellow Line at its advanced manufacturing facility. Only two trainsets, comprising 12 coaches, will be manufactured in China. To meet the specific requirements of the project, Titagarh has established a dedicated stainless steel production line at its facility. Production began on May 18, 2024, and the first trainset is slated for delivery in August 2024.

The 21-km Yellow Line, extending from RV Road to Bommasandra, is a crucial metro corridor designed to enhance connectivity and alleviate traffic congestion in Bengaluru. Upon completion, this line is expected to significantly improve urban mobility for the city's residents. Titagarh’s involvement in this high-profile project underscores its dedication to supporting national infrastructure projects through reliable transportation solutions.

The impressive range of manufacturing capability allows Titagarh to support a wide array of transportation needs, reinforcing its position as a leader in the rail transportation industry. The Company's ongoing investments in advanced production technologies and its commitment to quality and innovation continue to drive its success and contribution to the national infrastructure.

Titagarh Rail Systems is formerly known as Titagarh Wagons. The company is mainly engaged in the manufacturing and selling of Freight Wagons, Passenger Coaches, Steel Castings, Specialised Equipments & Bridges, Ships, Heavy Earthmoving and Mining Equipments, etc.
