This significant order underscores Jupiter Group's growing role in strengthening India's passenger rail ecosystem and aligns with the Government of India's vision to modernize and expand safe, efficient, and future-ready rail transport across the country. The supply of advanced, precision-engineered axles will be integral to enhancing the performance, safety, and durability of Indian Railways' high-speed LHB coach fleet.
The order further strengthens JWL's presence in the rail components segment especially for passenger rolling stock. Aurangabad facility is already delivering 10,000 wheelsets per year. As a part of its long-term capacity-building strategy, the company is setting up a world-class forged axle and wheel manufacturing facility in Odisha with the investment of Rs 2,500 crore to produce 100,000 forged wheelsets annually by 2027 for both domestic use and international markets, including the EU.
