Overview
Titagarh entered the freight wagon manufacturing space in 1997, as a forward integration of its steel casting business at its foundry for Indian Railways. This move not only positioned Titagarh as a leader in the Indian market but also enabled it to expand into other segments of rolling stock.
From an initial capacity of 150 wagons per year, Titagarh has grown to manufacture 12,000 wagons annually, backed by a melting capacity of 45,000 MT per year. Today, it holds the largest share of India's wagon manufacturing market, playing a vital role in strengthening the nation's freight infrastructure. Aligned with Indian Railways' vision, Titagarh remains committed to supporting the target of achieving 3,000 million tonnes (MT) of freight loading by 2027.
Rolling Stock
Titagarh embarked on its foray into freight wagon manufacturing in 1997, marking a strategic move towards forward integration from its existing foundry operations for Indian Railways. This decision proved instrumental in consolidating Titagarh’s position as a frontrunner in the Indian market and subsequently enabled significant exports of freight wagons and components from India.
The company possesses unparalleled design flexibility, allowing it to address the specific requirements of customers across diverse geographical regions. As a result, Titagarh has evolved into a transnational powerhouse, offering comprehensive end-to-end solutions for the rail freight industry.
Titagarh currently operates two state-of-the-art steel casting foundries, serving both domestic and international markets. Its portfolio encompasses an extensive range of bogie designs for freight wagons. The company’s manufacturing capabilities include various types of cast bogies and fabricated bogies, further strengthening its position in the industry.
Components
Titagarh began its journey in the foundry business, which later helped it become one of India’s leading rolling stock manufacturers. Today, the company operates two large steel casting foundries with a total annual capacity of about 45,000 MT. These foundries produce key railway components for Indian Railways and for customers around the world, with strong expertise in rail crossings. Titagarh’s product range includes bogies, couplers, and draft gears.
Titagarh also has strong experience in designing and engineering bogies, especially for freight wagons. In the components segment, the company offers many types of bogies along with couplers and draft gears, providing a complete range of railway components.
In addition, Titagarh operates its own no-bake line which enables high dimensional accuracy, superior surface finish, the ability to produce complex shapes, and faster production cycles compared to conventional green sand casting.
Shipbuilding
Titagarh has embarked on diversification into the shipbuilding sector through a strategic merger with Corporate Shipyard, a seasoned organization with over 25 years of experience in shipbuilding. Corporate Shipyard has a strong track record, having successfully constructed more than 35 vessels for a diverse range of clients. Vessels delivered to date include ocean research vessels, fuel barges, tugs, passenger and cargo ships, and diving support crafts for the Indian Navy, Indian Coast Guard, the Govt. of West Bengal, NIOT (Nation Institute of Ocean Technology), the Republic of Guyana, and other clients.
Titagarh maintains a consistent commitment to delivering vessels ahead of schedule, supported by its state-of-the-art shipbuilding facilities spread across approximately 50 acres, with a 500-meter waterfront. Strategically located along National Waterway-1 near Kolkata, India, the shipyard is equipped with modern steel-processing infrastructure, including CNC machinery, with an aggregate capacity to process over 10,000 tonnes of steel annually. A new shipyard is planned at Falta, south of Kolkata, to address growing global shipbuilding demand. The facility will be spread over approximately 50 acres, with a waterfront of over 400 meters, and will be designed to build vessels up to 180 meters in length. Once operational, the shipyard is expected to have a production capacity of around 10–12 vessels per year.
Bridges
At the current juncture, we engage in the production of three distinct variants of Modular Steel Bridges within our domestic borders. These efforts are conducted in conjunction with M/S Matiere of France. The specific bridge models encompass the Unibridge, Matiere Panel Bridge (MPB), and Matiere X Bridge (MXB). Notably, the distinctive feature of these bridges lies in their expedited assembly process, particularly in remote and inaccessible areas. It is pertinent to highlight that the assembly of these bridges does not necessitate on-site welding. The entirety of these bridge constructions is pre-fabricated, thereby obviating any generation of waste at the installation sites. Scrap steel originating from the facilities at Titagarh is systematically recycled or repurposed, aligning with our steadfast commitment to environmentally sustainable practices.
Defence
Titagarh is proud to have delivered a long range of prestigious products to various Defence Sectors. Titagarh successfully supplied metal canopies, canisters, integrated field shelters and medical oxygen plants to the Ministry of Defence (MoD). Additionally, within the purview of the Titagarh Defence Sector, the company is engaged in manufacturing of EMI/EMC mobile nodes, canisters and various applications to the Ministry of Defence.
