Among its key initiatives is the consortium with Bharat Heavy Electricals Limited (BHEL) for the manufacture and maintenance of 80 Vande Bharat trainsets, along with the development of supporting maintenance infrastructure for Indian Railways.

The company is also working in partnership with Ramkrishna Forgings Limited to manufacture and supply forged wheels under the Aatma-Nirbhar Bharat initiative, supporting long-term localisation of critical railway components under a 20-year supply programme.

In addition, TRSL has continued investing in collaborative ventures focused on design, research, propulsion technologies and transit innovation, reinforcing its contribution toward India’s evolving mobility ecosystem.
