RAIL INDUSTRY MANUFACTURING IN INDIA 41 IR traction and rolling stock manufacturers 41 Other major rolling stock manufacturers 44 Other manufacturers based in India (selection) 45 Brooks Events Ltd © 2013 3 Introduction India’s huge railway system continues to undergo rapid expansion and extensive upgrading as it endeavours to support the country’s economic and social development. On the existing network, track doubling, conversion from metre gauge to broad gauge and electrification continue to feature in annual investment budgets, with locomotive and rolling stock fleets also being expanded and modernised. The first dedicated corridors for freight traffic are now under construction and moves are being made to introduce high- speed passenger routes. This report highlights some of the strategies India is adopting to cope with rising traffic in both passenger and freight sectors. It is also intended to provide an overview of the structure of the Indian railway system, together with key statistics, plus indicators that show how the market might develop. The report summarises the growing number of metro and mass rapid transit projects in India’s major cities that are either operational, under construction or for which positive steps have been taken towards implementation. With the country’s densely populated metropolitan conurbations labouring under the ever increasing traffic congestion, solutions are needed urgently to sustain the mobility needs of their residents. Also provided is a non-exhaustive list of companies supplying rolling stock and infrastructure equipment, products and services to the main line and urban rail transport markets in India. Those listed represent only a small proportion of the suppliers active in India – many smaller companies contribute to the high level of self-sufficiency that characterises the market. Website addresses are provided in most cases to enable users of this report to access additional information on individual projects and the organisations responsible for them, and to learn more about suppliers.
