Siemens Ltd has received an order from Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd for the supply of advanced propulsion systems and Train Control & Monitoring Systems (TCMS) for the Pune Metro Rail Project extension. The scope of work includes design, manufacture, supply, and warranty of traction converters, auxiliary converters, traction motors, and TCMS for 12 trainsets.
Rajeev Joisar, Chief Executive Officer, Mobility Business, Siemens Ltd, said, “We are pleased to partner with Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd on the Pune Metro project. This collaboration is an important step in our journey to support India’s rapidly growing metro market with advanced Propulsion and TCMS technologies. As India continues to invest in sustainable urban transportation, the development of a strong local manufacturing and technology ecosystem becomes increasingly important. Aligned with the ‘Make in India’ initiative, we are committed to develop these advanced technologies by leveraging Siemens’ strong manufacturing and engineering footprint in India.”

Umesh Chowdhary, Vice Chairman & Managing Director, Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd, said, “We are delighted to partner with Siemens on the Pune Metro project, for advanced indigenous propulsion systems, reinforcing our strong commitment to ‘Make in India’ through near-complete localization. Pune Metro always holds a special place for us, as it marks Titagarh’s entry into the passenger rail systems space and the introduction of India’s first aluminum-bodied metro coaches. This additional option contract further strengthens the aluminum train ecosystem in the country. Together, this partnership will accelerate indigenization and serves as a great start to a long potential partnership between Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd and Siemens for the Indian urban mobility landscape.”
