Plans to Manufacture 80,000 Wheels Annually, Announces Vaishnaw

Railways Minister Vaishnaw has unveiled a visionary initiative to propel the Indian Railways towards self-sufficiency by announcing plans to manufacture 80,000 wheels annually. This strategic move is part of a broader agenda to enhance domestic manufacturing capabilities within the railway sector and reduce dependency on external sources.

The ambitious project is set to contribute significantly to the 'Atmanirbhar Bharat' (self-reliant India) vision, emphasising the importance of fostering indigenous production in critical infrastructure components. By undertaking this manufacturing endeavour, the Indian Railways aims to not only meet its own requirements but also position itself as a major contributor to the country's self-sufficiency goals.

As the railway sector embarks on this transformative journey, the initiative is expected to generate employment opportunities, boost the economy, and fortify the nation's manufacturing capabilities. Minister Vaishnaw's announcement underscores the government's commitment to building a robust and self-reliant railway ecosystem that aligns with the broader vision of a self-sufficient and resilient India.
