Jupiter Wagons said its unlisted subsidiary, Jupiter Tatravagonka Railwheel Factory Pvt. Ltd., has received a Letter of Intent dated August 19, 2025, to supply 5,376 wheelsets for the Vande Bharat train. The order is valued at about ₹215 crore, according to the statement. 

 

The order underscores the company's growing role in strengthening India’s high-speed rail ecosystem and aligns with the Government of India's continued thrust on expanding the Vande Bharat network across the country, the company said in a statement. "The supply of advanced, high-precision wheelsets will play a crucial role in ensuring the safety, efficiency, and durability of India’s flagship semi-high-speed trains."

 

As part of its long-term capacity building, the company is setting up a production facility in Odisha, which will increase capacity from the current 20,000 forged wheels and axles annually to 1,00,000 forged wheelsets per year, it added. "Backed by an ₹2,500 crore investment, the expansion is expected to be completed by 2027, significantly reducing reliance on imports and bolstering India’s domestic manufacturing base."
