Operational capacity was strengthened with the successful commissioning of the specialised Copper Conductor facility at Sinnar, which has a capacity of approximately 350 TPM. This backward integration improves supply reliability and cost efficiencies while creating opportunities in external markets.
In India's rail sector, the indigenous propulsion system for Indian Railways advanced into the validation and field trial stages, marking a significant step toward executing existing orders and participating in future railway propulsion tenders.
