The facility is expected to be fully operational by calendar year 2027. Once completed, it will serve both domestic and international markets, with approximately 50% of the production capacity dedicated to exports, primarily to its partner Tatravagonka A.S and other European players.
The project will also enhance operational efficiency in the company's wagon manufacturing business through complete backward integration. By establishing this integrated forging line, the company aims to streamline production processes, ensure superior quality control, and secure the timely availability of critical components for its wagon manufacturing operations.
Jupiter Wagons has awarded a contract to Schuler Pressen GmbH, a renowned German engineering company known for its cutting-edge forging technology, for the supply and erection of the fully integrated forged wheel and axle line.
Vivek Lohia, managing director of Jupiter Wagons, said, 'We are excited to announce the transformation of our subsidiary, now named Jupiter Tatravagonka Railwheel Factory. The investment in a new facility housing state-of-the-art manufacturing technology, positions us for greater growth and efficiency. Jupiter Wagons continues to take bold steps toward a more sustainable, efficient, and globally competitive future for the rail infrastructure manufacturing industry in India. This latest investment underscores our vision of innovation and excellence as we now aim to deliver world-class products to global markets.'
