Industry overview

The railway propulsion equipment is the product or equipment that makes trains move on tracks. It includes main parts like Converter-Inverter Systems, Vehicle Control System or Train Control Management System, Driver Displays. Propulsion provides the traction power needed to pull coaches and wagons over long distances. Railway propulsion equipment is used across a wide range of applications. These include passenger trains such as metros, suburban rail, intercity trains, and high-speed rail, as well as freight trains that transport coal, steel, cement, containers, and other goods. They are also critical in urban rail systems like metros, monorails, and in specialised rail vehicles used in mining and heavy industries.

The railway propulsion equipment industry in India is witnessing steady growth, supported by large-scale electrification projects, expansion of metro and high-speed rail networks, and the government’s focus on modernising rail infrastructure. Increasing demand for energy-efficient and sustainable technologies is further driving the market. The Indian railway propulsion equipment industry has shown robust growth, increasing from $561.1 million in CY20 to $937.0 million in CY25, reflecting an 10.8% CAGR over this period. This rapid expansion is supported by India’s large-scale railway electrification drive, investments in metro networks, and the government’s emphasis on modern, efficient transport systems.

Railway cable assemblies are essential parts of today’s rail systems. It helps carry power, signals, and data between different parts of trains, whether it’s locomotives, metro coaches, or passenger trains. These assemblies combine cables, connectors, and protective coverings into one system that can handle tough railway conditions like constant shaking, changing temperatures, electrical interference, and exposure to dust and moisture. These cable assemblies used in many key areas, such as propulsion systems, braking units, communication and signalling devices, passenger information screens, and safety controls. As India moves toward more electric locomotives, metro networks, and high-speed trains, there’s a growing need for cable assemblies that are strong, lightweight, fire-resistant, and free from harmful halogen materials. Manufacturers are now focusing on making these assemblies more reliable and safer, while also meeting strict Indian and international railway standards.

Risks and concerns

Concentration of revenue from key customers: The company is dependent on a limited number of public and private sector customers. Its revenue from operations is concentrated with, and it is dependent on, a limited number of customers. Its top 10 customers contributed 93.04%, 92.01% and 86.73% of its revenue from operations during the Financial Years ended March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025 and March 31, 2024 respectively. Cancellation of orders, if any, by customers or delay or reduction in their orders could have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations and financial condition.

Reliance on top 10 suppliers for raw materials: The company is dependent on its suppliers for uninterrupted supply of raw materials which are majorly procured domestically by the company. Its top 10 suppliers accounted for 94.87%, 76.37%, and 66.82% of its total cost of materials consumed during the financial years ended March 31, 2026, March 31, 2025, and March 31, 2024, respectively. Further, the costs of the raw materials which it uses in its assembling cum manufacturing process are subject to volatility in prices in domestic and international market/s. Such suppliers may not perform, or be able to perform their obligations in a timely manner, or at all and any delay, shortage, interruption, reduction in the supply of or volatility in the prices of raw materials on which it relies may have a material adverse effect on its business, results of operations, financial condition, cash flows and future prospects.

Dependence on imported raw materials and components: The company relies on imports from certain countries for certain raw material for its present products. Further, for 3-Phase Propulsion Equipment, it will import raw material or electronic components from countries, such as China, UK, Hong Kong & Singapore and also source imported raw material from local suppliers / office of such foreign suppliers. Supplies of such imports / imported materials may be disrupted by changes in government regulations or policies, deterioration in economic conditions or escalation of trade tensions and any changes in the pricing and quality of Its raw material / components including Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistors, capacitors, semiconductors, microprocessors, thyristor, etc could cause significant disruptions to and adversely impact its business operations.

Failure to develop and commercialize new products: Its success significantly depends on Its ability to develop and commercialize new electrical equipment & power electronics systems for usage in railways industry, in India and overseas market. This requires it to design, develop, test, and assemble / manufacture power electronic equipment as per the requirements of Indian Railways / RDSO, and obtain other necessary regulatory approvals, if required, while complying with applicable regulatory and safety standards. Further, in respect of overseas markets, it is required to adapt Its product designs and technologies to meet the technical specifications, certification requirements, and safety standards prescribed by the relevant foreign regulatory authorities. Any failure or delay in meeting such country-specific standards, or in adapting to evolving technologies or customer preferences, may adversely affect Its ability to successfully commercialize its products in those international markets.
