Jupiter Tatravagonka Railwheel Factory (JTRFPL), a subsidiary of Jupiter Wagons (JWL), has secured a Rs 215 crore order for supplying 5,376 wheelsets for the Vande Bharat project.
The letter of intent (LoI), dated 19 August 2025, marks a key milestone in India’s high-speed rail development. The order comprising 2,688 motor wheelsets and 2,688 trailer wheelsets highlights JWL’s growing role in strengthening the country’s semi-high-speed rail ecosystem, ensuring safety, efficiency, and durability.
The order also complements JWL’s Rs 2,500 crore investment in Odisha to build a world-class production facility. Once operational by 2027, it will expand capacity from 20,000 forged wheels and axles annually to 1,00,000 wheelsets, reducing import dependence and bolstering domestic manufacturing.
