As Indian Railways undergoes a transformative overhaul with billions poured into infrastructure, a spotlight shines on how these mega-projects are supercharging domestic manufacturing and creating jobs. In an exclusive interview with Newsstation, Neha Singh, Director of And Hightech Industries Ltd (AHIL), revealed how the sector's rapid expansion—from track tripling and fourth-line additions to the completion of landmark projects like the Udhampur-Srinagar-Baramulla Rail Link (USBRL) and Mizoram railway—has delivered tangible benefits to Indian firms.
"These large-scale projects and investments have brought a significant boost to the industry," Singh said, emphasizing the ripple effects. "We're seeing revolutionary changes everywhere, from dedicated freight corridors to preparations for Sikkim's rail connectivity. It's not just about tracks; it's about building an ecosystem that empowers local players."
Established in 2013, AHIL has carved a niche in precision manufacturing for railway rolling stock, specializing in high-quality components like casting friction discs, brake pads, door systems, and HVAC systems supplied to LHB coaches, Vande Bharat trains, and the Delhi Metro. Based in Greater Noida’s Kanak Ecotech One, the company showcased its full product lineup at a recent Indian Railways display, underscoring its commitment to engineering excellence, customer satisfaction, and timely delivery.
Singh attributed much of AHIL's growth to post-2014 reforms, particularly the Make in India initiative. "The changes are absolutely visible," she noted. "All our R&D is in-house, with every product fully localized in India. What could be a bigger shift? Now, everything we supply to Indian Railways is 100% Make in India."
Quality remains non-negotiable, aligning with recent directives from Rail Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw. During a recent inauguration, he urged the Railway Board to prioritize uncompromising standards, blacklisting any defaulters and enforcing strict accountability. "Quality-wise, it's spot on," Singh affirmed. "We're manufacturing under Make in India for passenger-related coaches like LHB, Vande Bharat, and Delhi Metro—there's zero scope for compromise. For us and all such companies, quality is the top priority: There should be no compromise at all."
