Oriental Foundry Secures SECR Freight Component Order

Oriental Foundry, a wholly owned subsidiary of Oriental Rail Infrastructure, on December 23, 2025 announced that it has secured a contract valued at approximately Rs 92.6 million from South East Central Railway for the manufacture and supply of key freight components.

The order involves the production of 2,460 advanced high-capacity draft gear units designed for BOXNHL and BCNHL freight wagons, which are widely used for heavy-duty industrial transportation. The company said the entire contract is scheduled to be completed by October 31, 2026.

The latest win adds to a series of successful orders secured by the company in the rail sector. These include a Rs 11 million order for high-tensile knuckles from North Western Railway, as well as earlier contracts for coupler bodies and yokes aimed at modernising existing freight rolling stock.

According to regulatory disclosures, the contract has been awarded by a domestic entity and does not constitute a related party transaction. Following the announcement on December 23, shares of the parent company rose by over 5 per cent on the BSE, reflecting investor confidence in the company’s growing role within India’s evolving rail and logistics infrastructure.
