Jupiter Wagons Limited (JWL) has signed a strategic partnership with Lucchini RS Holding S.p.A. of Italy to develop India's first fully integrated private-sector railwheel manufacturing platform, as per the exchange filings.
As part of the transaction, Lucchini RS and SIMEST S.p.A. will together acquire a 25% stake in Jupiter Tatravagonka Railwheel Factory Private Limited (JTRWF) for a combined consideration of approximately €28 million.
Under the binding agreements, Lucchini RS will purchase a 15% equity stake in JTRWF, while SIMEST S.p.A. will acquire an additional 10% stake.
The collaboration will manufacture railway wheels, axles and wheelsets across the full production chain, combining Jupiter Wagons' manufacturing capabilities with Lucchini RS's railwheel technology and engineering expertise.
JTRWF currently operates a facility at Chhatrapati Sambhajinagar, where machining and wheelset assembly are undertaken.
The company is also developing a greenfield facility in Odisha that will include forging, primary metallurgy and wheel manufacturing.
Once operational, it will become India's only fully integrated private-sector railwheel manufacturing platform, enabling end-to-end production under one roof.
The partnership is intended to strengthen India's rail manufacturing capabilities while creating a platform to serve both the domestic market and exports.
The companies will collaborate on technology transfer, engineering and product development while expanding JTRWF's presence in Indian and global markets. Jupiter Wagons' in-house wheelset demand is expected to support the venture's long-term growth.
Vivek Lohia, Managing Director of Jupiter Wagons, called the partnership a "defining milestone", saying it combines manufacturing capabilities with global technology to strengthen India's self-reliance in railway components and expand its global presence.
Giuseppe Lucchini, Chairman of Lucchini RS, described the deal as a "significant step" in the company's international expansion, establishing a structured presence in India through a local partner.
