Oriental Rail Subsidiary Bags Twin Rs 15.43-Crore Draft Gear Orders From South East Central Railway

Oriental Rail Infrastructure Limited has notified the stock exchanges that its subsidiary Oriental Foundry Private Limited (OFPL) has won fresh business from South East Central Railway, Indian Railways.
​
The orders cover manufacture and supply of upgraded high-capacity draft gear assemblies for BOXNHL and BCNHL freight wagons, a critical safety and load-bearing component in modern rolling stock.

Key Highlights Of The First Order

Order value around Rs 6.17 crore for manufacture and supply of 1,640 upgraded high-capacity draft gear units for BOXNHL/BCNHL wagons.
​
Awarding authority is South East Central Railway, with the order classified as a domestic contract under Indian Railways’ tender No. 03252683A.
​
Execution timeline runs up to October 31, 2026, with payment terms providing 100% settlement against online completion of the consignee receipt note (CRN).

Salient Features Of The Second Order

Additional contract value of about Rs 9.26 crore for 2,460 upgraded high-capacity draft gear units for similar BOXNHL/BCNHL wagon applications.
​
This second order has also been placed by South East Central Railway against the same tender reference, reinforcing OFPL’s positioning as a preferred vendor for these critical components.
​
Like the first contract, the order is to be executed domestically by October 31, 2026, providing multi‑year revenue visibility for Oriental Rail Infrastructure’s manufacturing business.
​​
Strategic Implications

The twin wins deepen Oriental Foundry’s engagement with Indian Railways in higher-value freight wagon components, complementing its earlier coupler and knuckle orders from various railway zones.
​
Sustained order inflows across couplers, knuckles and draft gear improve capacity utilisation at OFPL and support Oriental Rail Infrastructure’s growth focus in the railway equipment space.
