Titagarh Rail Systems Ltd. has announced its entry into two new business sectors, expanding beyond its core railway operations. This was revealed following the company’s board meeting on February 3.

This new division will concentrate on enhancing railway operations through the development and installation of products that ensure the smooth and safe running of trains.
