Titagarh Rail Systems Limited (TRSL), a prominent Indian rolling stock manufacturer, has commenced production of trainsets as part of a contract with China Railway Rolling Stock Corporation (CRRC) for the Bangalore Metro Rail Corporation Limited’s (BMRCL) Phase 2 Yellow Line project. This marks a significant milestone in Titagarh’s ongoing contributions to India’s urban transportation infrastructure.
The contract agreement between BMRCL and CRRC Nanjing Puzhen Co Ltd, signed in December 2019, encountered challenges that led to delays in meeting the original deadlines. To address these delays, CRRC sought additional time and subsequently entered into a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Titagarh Rail Systems. Under this MoU, Titagarh will manufacture the trainsets at its state-of-the-art facility.
Titagarh is responsible for producing 34 of the 36 trainsets needed for the Yellow Line at its advanced manufacturing facility, while only two trainsets will be manufactured in China. To meet the specific requirements of the project, Titagarh has established a dedicated stainless steel production line. Production began on May 18th, 2024, and the first trainset is slated for delivery in August 2024.
The 21-km Yellow Line, extending from RV Road to Bommasandra, is a crucial metro corridor designed to enhance connectivity and alleviate traffic congestion in Bengaluru. Upon completion, this line is expected to significantly improve urban mobility for the city’s residents. Titagarh’s involvement in this high-profile project underscores its dedication to supporting national infrastructure projects through reliable transportation solutions.
Titagarh’s impressive manufacturing capabilities allow it to support a wide array of transportation needs, reinforcing its position as a leader in the rail transportation industry. The company’s ongoing investments in advanced production technologies and its commitment to quality and innovation continue to drive its success and contribution to national infrastructure.
