Texmaco Rail & Engineering Ltd, a leading player in India’s railway infrastructure sector, has secured a Rs 1,405.5 million order from the Ministry of Railways for the supply of advanced Flat Multi-Purpose (FMP) wagons. These wagons are designed to enhance India’s freight mobility across sectors like defence, steel, and container logistics. This order reinforces Texmaco’s strategic alignment with the Government of India’s efforts to modernise and streamline the national rail freight ecosystem. With this addition, Texmaco’s total order book now stands at Rs 71.15 billion, marking strong growth and sustained industry confidence.
The newly developed FMP wagons represent a leap in multi-utility rail freight transport. They are designed to carry:
- ISO containers – either one 40-foot or two 20-foot containers
- Trucks using Roll-on/Roll-off (RoRo) methods
- Military vehicles, supporting secure and rapid deployment
“Texmaco appreciates the continued trust placed by the Ministry of Railways,” said Indrajit Mookerjee, Vice Chairman and Executive Director. “This order highlights India’s commitment to freight fleet modernisation, and we’re proud to contribute with cutting-edge, versatile transport solutions.”
FMP wagons are engineered for enhanced flexibility, offering seamless intermodal connectivity that benefits agriculture, manufacturing, and defence supply chains. Their adaptability ensures optimal use across diverse freight needs—streamlining logistics, reducing turnaround time, and improving network utilisation.
Sudipta Mukherjee, Managing Director of Texmaco Rail & Engineering Ltd, noted, “We’re committed to delivering next-gen freight solutions that power India’s infrastructure and industrial transformation. These wagons are a significant step in that direction, aligning with national goals for efficiency and sustainability.”
Texmaco’s innovation in the FMP wagon reflects India’s broader strategy to develop eco-friendly, high-efficiency, multi-modal transport. The company continues to position itself as a key enabler in India's logistics and economic progress through advanced rail engineering.
