Upgradation of Government Manufacturing Units & Trainset Depots and Comprehensive Maintenance
for 35 years.”
The signing of the maintenance contract reinforces the long-term nature of the TRSL-BHEL partnership
and reflects the growing focus of Indian Railways on lifecycle-based support for advanced passenger
rail systems. By combining indigenous manufacturing with long-term maintenance capabilities, the
consortium will contribute to ensuring the continued operational readiness of the Vande Bharat
sleeper fleet.
Commenting on the occasion, Shri Umesh Chowdhary, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Titagarh

milestone in Titagarh’s journey and further strengthens our association with the Vande Bharat
programme. At Titagarh, our commitment goes beyond designing and manufacturing modern rolling
stock we believe in supporting our customers and our products throughout their operational lifecycle.
This 35-year maintenance commitment reflects the trust placed in our people, capabilities and

rolling stock programmes. Together with BHEL, we remain committed to contributing to India’s vision
of modern, efficient and self-reliant passenger rail transportation through Vande Bharat, designed and
made in India, for a Viksit Bharat.”
