Tata AutoComp Systems Limited, a leading provider of automotive and mobility components, is set to unveil its expanded railway solutions portfolio at the International Railway Equipment Exhibition (IREE) 2025, taking place at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi.
Reinforcing its theme of “Shaping the Future of Railways,” Tata AutoComp will highlight a range of innovative products and strategic global partnerships tailored to meet India’s unique requirements and cost structures.
Key highlights will include a cutting-edge global propulsion system debuting in India, along with advanced seating systems, sustainable lightweight composite components, and energy-efficient HVAC solutions — all designed to enhance passenger comfort, reduce maintenance, and boost operational efficiency in the Indian railway ecosystem.
Strategic Collaborations with Global Leaders
As part of its long-term diversification strategy, Tata AutoComp has identified Railways as a key focus area beyond its core automotive components business. To accelerate this journey, the company has forged partnerships with global technology leaders — Škoda, Compin Fainsa, and Air International Thermal Systems. Through partnerships with global companies, Tata AutoComp Systems is bringing world-class products and technologies to the Indian market.
Commenting on the company’s vision, Tata AutoComp’s Vice-Chairman Mr. Arvind Goel said, “Diversifying beyond automotive, the railway sector is a natural choice for Tata AutoComp. India’s rail network is undergoing rapid modernization, and the government’s focus on improving infrastructure, travel convenience, and passenger comfort makes this the right time to enter the segment. Through our collaborations with Škoda, we aim to bridge global expertise with India’s manufacturing strength.”
These partnerships align with Tata AutoComp’s mission to localize advanced global technologies and make them cost-competitive for India. The company’s joint ventures will enable end-to-end manufacturing and assembly of key railway components within the country, contributing to the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives.
Tata AutoComp’s MD & CEO, Mr. Manoj Kolhatkar, added, “So far, Indian Railways has relied heavily on imported technologies. Our focus is on bringing these technologies to India, localizing them, and reducing customer response time. We are combining Tata AutoComp’s manufacturing excellence with our partners’ global expertise to deliver sustainable, cost-effective, and high-quality solutions for the Indian market.”
Leveraging Automotive Expertise for Railway Applications
With decades of experience in automotive seating systems and composites, Tata AutoComp is leveraging its engineering and manufacturing expertise to design solutions for railways. Lightweighting plays a crucial role in operational efficiency. With most railway networks now electrified, reducing the weight of coaches directly lowers electricity consumption and operating costs. Tata AutoComp’s strength lies in applying proven automotive technologies to the railway domain. The company combines global innovation with local capability to create products that are sustainable, durable, and aligned with India’s future mobility needs.
