Sector / Market Context
Indian Railways has been a focal point of government capital expenditure, with the Union Budget for FY26 allocating Rs 2.52 lakh crore to the railways ministry, one of the highest allocations on record. Demand for freight wagons and metro rolling stock continues to be supported by ongoing urban transit expansion projects across cities including Mumbai, Pune, and Bangalore, providing a broad order-book backdrop for manufacturers operating in both the freight and passenger rail segments.
