Titagarh Rail Systems bagged order worth ₹273 crore from the Ministry of Railways for 62 Rail Borne Maintenance Vehicles (RBMVs), including training and maintenance support.
What’s the deal: the RBMVs are self-propelled, on-track maintenance machines designed for inspection, repair, and restoration of rail infrastructure.
The order covers end-to-end service of Indian Railways personnel, ensuring smooth operations across the network.
This marks the company’s entry into the technology-driven, safety-critical rail maintenance segment, moving beyond its traditional rolling stock business.
Why it matters: the vehicles use advanced mechanised systems for track and overhead equipment works, boosting safety, reliability, and operational efficiency.
These vehicles are special trains that fix and maintain railway tracks and overhead wires without stopping rail traffic for long. They inspect tracks for cracks, alignment issues, and wear, repair rails, tighten or replace components, and maintain overhead electric lines.
