The latest contract reinforces Titagarh Rail Systems' expanding presence in India's urban rail segment, particularly within the Mumbai Metro network. With the addition of Line 5 to its portfolio, the company continues to demonstrate its technical expertise and operational capabilities in delivering integrated metro solutions. The Uttarpara facility's role in producing these coaches further highlights TRSL's contribution to domestic manufacturing in the country's transport infrastructure sector.
