Jupiter Wagons Limited (JWL) has announced that its material unlisted subsidiary, Jupiter Tatravagonka Railwheel Factory Private Limited (JTRFPL), has received a Letter of Intent (LOI) to supply 5,376 wheelsets for the prestigious Vande Bharat train project. The order, valued at Rs 2.15 billion, includes 2,688 motor wheelsets and 2,688 trailer wheelsets.

This milestone reinforces Jupiter Group’s growing contribution to India’s high-speed rail ecosystem and supports the government’s continued push to expand the Vande Bharat network nationwide. The supply of high-precision wheelsets will be vital in enhancing the safety, efficiency, and durability of India’s flagship semi-high-speed trains.

Vivek Lohia, Managing Director of Jupiter Wagons Limited, said:

“We are thrilled to secure this order for the Vande Bharat project, a symbol of India’s engineering strength and modern transport vision. The LOI affirms our capability in delivering world-class rail components. Through this engagement, we reiterate our commitment to India’s high-speed rail infrastructure and to building a modern, self-reliant railway system.”

The Rs 2.15 billion order strengthens JWL’s footprint in the rail components space for passenger, freight, and high-speed rail. As part of its long-term growth strategy, the company is establishing a world-class production facility in Odisha. This expansion, backed by an Rs 25 billion investment, will raise capacity from the current 20,000 forged wheels and axles annually to 100,000 forged wheelsets per year by 2027. The initiative will significantly reduce import dependence and bolster India’s domestic manufacturing base.

With a diversified portfolio, Jupiter Wagons remains committed to innovation-led, high-quality solutions that align with India’s infrastructure goals and the long-term vision of Viksit Bharat 2047.
