Titagarh Rail Systems Targets 1,500 Wagons Monthly by FY26

Titagarh Rail Systems, a leading name in railway manufacturing, is planning to ramp up its monthly wagon production to 1,500 units in FY26. The announcement was made by Umesh Chowdhary, Vice Chairman and Managing Director of the company. He said the company is relying on a strong order book to meet this ambitious target and recover from production shortfalls in the first quarter of FY26.

Currently, the company has the capacity to produce between 1,000 to 1,200 wagons a month. “But considering the overall market demand and our confirmed orders, we are aiming for approximately 1,500 wagons per month,” said Chowdhary in an interview with NDTV Profit.

Titagarh Rail Systems Q1 FY26 Earnings Results

In its Q1FY26 results, the company reported a 54% drop in profit, mainly due to delays in wagon dispatches. This was largely caused by a shortage of wheelsets from the Rail Wheel Factory, a unit under the Ministry of Railways.

However, Chowdhary assured that the issue is now resolved. “From the end of July or early August, this problem seems to be behind us,” he said. With improved supply, the company expects to match last year’s performance, when it delivered 9,431 wagons.

Strong Order Book Supports Growth

Titagarh’s freight rail segment has an order book worth ₹4,114 crore for 10,772 wagons. In addition to this, there are more private and government tenders in the pipeline. The company expects fresh orders from Indian Railways by the end of the financial year.

For investors looking to benefit from the growth in railway manufacturing, opening a demat account can be a smart move to invest in stocks like Titagarh Rail Systems.

Shift Towards Passenger Rail Business

While freight has historically made up 90-95% of the company’s revenue, there is now a major shift. “Out of our total ₹26,000 crore order book, only ₹4,000 crore is for freight. The rest is for passenger rail and other segments,” said Chowdhary.

This marks a major change in the company’s business focus and is expected to drive future growth.
