Bengal Hands Over 40-Acre Plot To Titagarh Rail For Coach Production
Pune has taken a significant step forward in its public transportation journey as Titagarh Rail Systems secures an extension order worth ₹430 crore from Maharashtra Metro Rail Corporation Limited (Maha-Metro). The order includes the supply of 12 additional train sets for the Pune Metro project and marks another milestone in the collaborative efforts between Titagarh and Maha-Metro. As the Pune Metro gears up for expansion, this move is expected to elevate passenger capacity, operational efficiency, and overall commuter experience across the growing network.
The new order builds on an existing partnership and reinforces Titagarh’s reputation as a leader in manufacturing cutting-edge, energy-efficient metro trains. These train sets will be designed and built at Titagarh’s advanced manufacturing facilities, adhering to the highest global safety and quality standards. Once operational, they are expected to play a vital role in easing traffic congestion, promoting eco-friendly urban mobility, and enhancing last-mile connectivity for the city’s residents.
The expansion aligns with the broader vision of the Indian government to develop modern, sustainable, and tech-forward public transport systems. Pune, already regarded as one of India’s rapidly modernizing urban centers, will significantly benefit from this capacity enhancement, especially as ridership grows and infrastructure expands. The addition of these 12 train sets will not only shorten wait times for commuters but also improve reliability and reduce the carbon footprint of urban transport.
Titagarh Rail Systems has been at the forefront of India’s transportation manufacturing sector, with its presence felt across multiple cities through similar metro and rail projects. Known for its innovation, the company has also made strides in defense and freight mobility, further diversifying its role in nation-building. Its facilities in both India and Italy underscore its global approach, blending local manufacturing with international expertise.
This fresh order for the Pune Metro is a testament to Titagarh’s capability, consistency, and alignment with the “Make in India” initiative. With this move, Pune is not just adding more trains — it’s accelerating its journey toward a smarter, greener future.
