Indian rolling stock manufacturer Jupiter Wagons has announced new business worth approximately EUR 138 million, covering 2,583 bulk freight wagons for Indian Railways and 405 ACT2 automobile carriers for private customers GATX India and Chetak International.
The latest agreements concern Jupiter Wagons' ACT2 automobile carrier platform. GATX India, the local subsidiary of US-based railcar leasing company GATX, has issued a letter of intent for 270 wagons, corresponding to ten rakes. The proposed transaction is valued at approximately EUR 20 million.
Separately, Indian logistics company Chetak International has placed a firm order for 135 ACT2 wagons, forming five rakes, worth approximately EUR 10 million. Together, the two agreements represent 405 wagons and approximately EUR 30.5 million, including taxes. The GATX commitment remains at the letter-of-intent stage.
The ACT2 is a double-deck automobile carrier developed by Jupiter Wagons for transporting SUVs and other taller vehicles. The design allows up to 270 SUVs to be transported in a single rake, using articulated connections between wagons.
The private-sector business follows a separate order received from India's Ministry of Railways on 28 October. Valued at approximately EUR 107 million, it covers 2,583 BOXNHL and BOXNS open wagons designed for bulk commodities, including coal and iron ore. The manufacturer has not disclosed the distribution between the two wagon types or the delivery schedule.
Jupiter Wagons is also expanding its component manufacturing activities, including a wheelset production facility in Odisha. The company already manufactures bogies, couplers, brake systems and other freight wagon components.
Looking ahead, Jupiter Wagons forecasts additional orders worth approximately EUR 188 million during the fourth quarter of India's 2026/27 financial year, ending in March 2027. The Ministry of Railways has also issued a separate tender for 5,800 BOBRN bulk freight wagons, for which no contract award has yet been announced.
