Indian Railways Plans ₹40,000 Crore Tender for 100,000 Freight Wagons

Indian Railways plans to issue a mega tender worth around ₹40,000 crore to procure 100,000 freight wagons over the next three to four years, slightly larger than its 2022 tender for 100,000 wagons valued at ₹32,000 crore. The annual procurement could reach 35,000-40,000 wagons, with orders expected from July to September. Industry leaders, including Texmaco Rail, view the tender as an opportunity to utilize expanded domestic manufacturing capacity and maintain production lines.
