Q & A Highlights
Q: Can you provide an update on the Odisha wheelset plant and the expected production ramp-up? A: The Odisha project is on track for final commencement in FY28, with partial production expected by Q4 FY27. Delays were due to global supply disruptions, but most shipments have now been received. We anticipate a strong ramp-up in FY28.
Q: What is the scope of Jupiter Wagons' entry into the passenger rolling stock segment? A: We are entering the passenger rolling stock segment with a focus on metro and new train orders, including exports. We are in the process of forming a strategic partnership, but specific details cannot be disclosed at this time.
Q: Can you explain the increase in inventory levels and when they might normalize? A: The inventory increase was due to supply chain disruptions, leading to production mismatches. We expect inventory levels to stabilize by Q2 FY27 as supply chains normalize.
Q: What is the status of the pending wagon orders and execution for Indian Railways and private sectors? A: We have around 2,000 wagons pending for Indian Railways and about 5,400 for non-Indian Railway orders, totaling approximately INR3,100 crores. Execution in the last quarter was 1,347 wagons.
Q: How does the governments production-linked incentive (PLI) scheme impact your container manufacturing business? A: The PLI scheme is expected to offer subsidies in the range of 8% to 10%, which will help bridge the cost gap with Chinese containers. We plan to expand our capacity, focusing on marine containers, once the policy specifics are released.
