Rajeev Joisar, Chief Executive Officer, Mobility Business, Siemens Limited, said, “We are pleased to partner with Titagarh Rail Systems Limited on the Pune Metro project. This collaboration is an important step in our journey to support India’s rapidly growing metro market with advanced Propulsion and TCMS technologies. As India continues to invest in sustainable urban transportation, the development of a strong local manufacturing and technology ecosystem becomes increasingly important. Aligned with the Make in India initiative, we are committed to develop these advanced technologies by leveraging Siemens’ strong manufacturing and engineering footprint in India.”
Umesh Chowdhary, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Titagarh Rail Systems Limited, said, “We are delighted to partner with Siemens on the Pune Metro project, for advanced indigenous propulsion systems, reinforcing our strong commitment to Make in India through near-complete localisation. Pune Metro always holds a special place for us, as it marks Titagarh’s entry into the passenger rail systems space and the introduction of India’s first aluminium-bodied metro coaches. This additional option contract further strengthens the aluminium train ecosystem in the country. Together, this partnership will accelerate indigenisation and serves as a great start to a long potential partnership between Titagarh Rail Systems Limited & Siemens for the Indian urban mobility landscape.”
