Tata AutoComp Systems Limited, a prominent name in automotive and mobility components, is set to present its expanded range of railway solutions at the International Railway Equipment Exhibition (IREE) 2025, taking place at Bharat Mandapam, New Delhi. Reflecting its vision of “Shaping the Future of Railways,” the company will highlight a portfolio of innovative products, cutting-edge technologies, and global collaborations tailored to suit India’s operational and cost requirements.
At the exhibition, Tata AutoComp will introduce its newest technologies for the rail mobility segment, including an advanced global propulsion system debuting in India, ergonomic seating systems, energy-efficient HVAC units, and lightweight, sustainable composite components. These solutions are designed to boost passenger comfort, lower maintenance costs, and enhance overall energy efficiency across India’s rail network.
As part of its diversification beyond the automotive sector, Tata AutoComp has positioned railways as a key area of growth. The company has established strategic partnerships with leading international players such as Škoda, Compin Fainsa, and Air International Thermal Systems. These collaborations aim to integrate world-class technologies into the Indian market and accelerate the localization of advanced solutions.
Highlighting the company’s strategic direction, Arvind Goel, Vice-Chairman of Tata AutoComp, stated, “The railway sector represents a natural extension of our diversification journey. With India’s rail infrastructure evolving rapidly, this is the ideal moment to introduce advanced global systems tailored for local conditions. Through our partnerships with global leaders, we’re combining international expertise with India’s strong manufacturing base.”
These alliances are aligned with Tata AutoComp’s mission to localize cutting-edge global technologies, making them cost-effective and accessible for India. Through its joint ventures, the company is enabling complete manufacturing and assembly of critical rail components domestically, supporting the Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat initiatives.
Manoj Kolhatkar, Managing Director and CEO of Tata AutoComp, added, “Historically, India’s railways have depended heavily on imported technologies. Our aim is to change that by localizing and adapting these innovations to Indian needs. By merging Tata AutoComp’s manufacturing capabilities with our partners’ technological expertise, we are developing sustainable, high-quality, and economical solutions for the country’s rail ecosystem.”
With decades of experience in automotive seating and composites, Tata AutoComp is applying its proven engineering and production expertise to the railway sector. Lightweight design is a key factor in improving operational efficiency, as reduced coach weight directly lowers energy consumption in electrified rail networks. By transferring successful automotive technologies to railway applications, the company is creating solutions that are durable, sustainable, and optimized for India’s evolving transportation landscape.
Tata AutoComp designs, develops, manufactures, and supplies a broad spectrum of components and systems to automotive OEMs across passenger vehicles, commercial vehicles, two- and three-wheelers, tractors, off-road vehicles, and industrial applications. Building on this foundation, the company is now extending its reach into the railway segment and already supplies components for Vande Bharat trains.
Operating through 21 business units — including 11 joint ventures with leading global firms — and 66 manufacturing facilities across India, North America, Latin America, Europe, and China, Tata AutoComp continues to drive innovation and localization. Its strong focus on employee skill development, total quality management, and sustainable manufacturing practices reinforces its contribution to India’s growing mobility ecosystem. Notably, three of its business units have received the prestigious Deming Prize for excellence in Total Quality Management.
