AUGUST 202419RAILWAY COMPONENTS MANUFACTURERS - 2024TOP 10The railway components market in India is growing at a fast pace due to the factors that show the intent of the country towards the development of railways. One of the most important is the expansion and modernization of the rail network in India that is stipulated in the Indian government's initiatives such as DFCs and high-speed rail projects including the Mumbai Ahmedabad Bullet Train. The other key driver that has been noted to be driving the market is the investment in technology and innovation. Use of modern signalling systems, electrification schemes, and the launch of new generation trains such as Vande Bharat Express are defining new benchmarks in terms of operating parameters and passengers' comfort. These call for high-quality components, right from the braking system to the superior control mechanisms, thus increasing the demand in the components market. PPP are also playing very crucial role in this growth as well as development of the country. Recently, Indian government has allowed more foreign players in railway infrastructure and component manufacturing to enter the sector. These opportunities are being exploited to improve production capacity so that the companies can meet the high quality and safety standards that are demanded for today's rail systems. Furthermore, the government's `Make in India' policy is helping to create a favourable climate for the development of domestic industries, which, in turn, is positively affecting the reduction of the import dependence and the production of railway components locally. This initiative also helps in the local market development and also helps manufacturers in India to compete internationally thus helping the market to grow. Another factor is the increase in urban population and the need for effective transport means in the urban centers. Metro rail systems across different cities in the country are on an expansion spree and this implies that there is a continuous demand for parts and components that are designed for urban rail systems.Industry Outlook in this issue presents a list of `Top 10 Railway Components Manufacturers - 2024' who have leveraged their extensive industry expertise and experience in offering high quality products in the industry.
