The company's existing manufacturing facilities operated at approximately 98 per cent capacity utilisation, reflecting efficient production management and customer demand. Casting capacity is being expanded from 2,400 t per annum to 6,100 t per annum to support anticipated volumes, while machining capacity will increase from 7,500 units per annum to 10,000 units per annum to enhance throughput. These measures form part of a broader investment programme to strengthen manufacturing scalability and execution capabilities.

Management indicated the new expansion facility is expected to commence operations by June 2026 and that the enlarged capacities are expected to reach near 70 to 80 per cent utilisation by March 2027. The expansion targets critical segments including traction motor components, bogie assembly components, axle mounting tubes, turbine sub assemblies and industrial machinery components. The company said the initiatives will deepen its presence in high value engineering segments and broaden customer diversification.
