These wagons will enhance GATX’s cargo handling capacity and long-distance logistics efficiency. Managing Director Vivek Lohia said, “This significant order reinforces our position in the specialised freight segment and supports our strategy of diversifying our customer base while delivering innovative, high-quality solutions.”

JWL will execute the project from its manufacturing facilities across India, ensuring timely delivery and strict quality compliance.
