Orders cover 15 rakes of ACT2 automobile carrier wagons
Jupiter Wagons Limited (JWL), a leading rolling stock and mobility solutions company, has secured private sector business worth over ₹324 crore, including GST, from GATX India Private Limited and Chetak International Private Limited for its ACT2 automobile carrier wagons.
GATX India has issued a Letter of Intent valued at ₹214.94 crore for 10 rakes comprising 270 ACT2 wagons. Separately, Chetak International has placed an order worth ₹109.10 crore for five rakes comprising 135 wagons.
The orders highlight growing demand for Jupiter Wagons’ ACT2 platform among private wagon-leasing and logistics operators.
The wins complement the company’s Indian Railways business, including a recent ₹1,140 crore Railway Board order for 2,583 wagons, strengthening its diversified order book across government and private sector customers.
Mr Vivek Lohia, Managing Director, Jupiter Wagons Limited, said, “These wins reflect the confidence that private wagon-leasing and logistics operators place in our new-design ACT2 platform and in our ability to deliver at scale. As India moves a greater share of its freight to rail, we are seeing strong, broad-based demand across both the Indian Railways programme and the private sector. A balanced order book across government and private customers gives us healthy visibility and a resilient foundation for growth, and we remain focused on executing with the discipline and quality our customers expect.”
The company will leverage its integrated manufacturing capabilities to meet rising demand for specialised wagons and support India’s expanding rail freight and logistics sector.
