Indian Railways has announced that it is rapidly emerging as a global exporter of railway equipment, including bogies, coaches, locomotives, and propulsion systems, under the government’s ‘Make in India, Make for the World’ initiative.

According to an official statement, India’s railway products are now reaching over 16 international markets, reflecting the country’s growing capacity to design, develop, and deliver world-class rail solutions.

Metro coaches have been exported to Australia and Canada; bogies to the United Kingdom, Saudi Arabia, France, and Australia; propulsion systems to France, Mexico, Romania, Spain, Germany, and Italy; passenger coaches to Mozambique, Bangladesh, and Sri Lanka; and locomotives to Mozambique, Senegal, Sri Lanka, Myanmar, Bangladesh, and the Republic of Guinea, the ministry said.

In June 2025, Prime Minister Narendra Modi flagged off the first locomotive for export from the Marhowra Locomotive Manufacturing Plant in Bihar to the Republic of Guinea.

“So far, six locomotives manufactured at Marhowra have been successfully exported to Guinea. The plant has also secured a second major export order for Evolution Series locomotives, taking the total to approximately 150 units for the African market,” the ministry added.

Each Evolution Series locomotive, powered by a 4,500 HP engine, offers best-in-class fuel efficiency and high performance even in extreme climates, underscoring India’s engineering excellence and global competitiveness.

The ministry noted that the success of the Marhowra plant highlights the strength of India’s public–private partnership model, showcasing innovation, skill development, and the nation’s ability to contribute effectively to the global railway supply chain.
