Commenting on the development, Mr. Vivek Lohia, Managing Director, Jupiter Wagons Limited, said, “With the rapid expansion of freight and passenger rail networks, there is a critical need for reliable, high-performance wheelsets produced domestically at scale. Our Odisha facility will be a game-changer in this space, ensuring India’s self-sufficiency in wheelset manufacturing while also positioning us as a global supplier. This milestone aligns with our commitment to strengthening the railway supply chain, reducing import dependency, and driving innovation in railway mobility solutions.”

In addition to its railway manufacturing expertise, Jupiter Electric Mobility Pvt. Ltd (JEM), the commercial EV arm of JWL, is gearing up for the commercial launch of JEM TEZ in Indore. This marks a key step in the company’s broader strategy to diversify into sustainable and future-ready mobility solutions.
