Oriental rail arm secures a ₹9.26 cr contract from South East Central Railway to supply components for freight waggons.
Oriental Foundry, a wholly owned subsidiary of Oriental Rail Infrastructure, announced on 23 December 2025 that it has landed a contract valued at approximately ₹9.26 crore. The agreement, signed with South East Central Railway, focuses on the production and delivery of essential components for freight transport.
The project involves the manufacture of 2,460 advanced high-capacity draft gear units. These components are specifically designed for BOXNHL and BCNHL freight waggons, which are vital for heavy-duty industrial transport. The firm has confirmed that the entire contract is scheduled for completion by 31 October 2026.
This win follows a series of successful bids by the company within the rail sector, including:
- A ₹1.10 crore order for high-tensile knuckles from North Western Railway.
- Previous contracts for coupler bodies and yokes to modernise existing freight stock.
According to official filings, the contract was awarded by a domestic entity and is not a related party transaction. Following the news on 23 December 2025, shares in the parent company rose by over 5 percent on the BSE, reflecting investor confidence in the firm’s role within the evolving national logistics infrastructure.
