Jharkhand is poised to become a key center for railway production, thanks to a new Vande Bharat coach and rail wheel manufacturing plant. This development follows Voltodox Rail Private Limited’s proposal to invest ₹3967.84 crore in the state, which is a significant boost to Jharkhand’s industrial growth.
Vande Bharat Coach Manufacturing Unit in Chakulia
The manufacturing plant will be situated in Chakulia. The primary goal of this project is to produce the modern Vande Bharat Express coaches. These trains are popular for their comfortable features and improved travel experience for passengers. Besides the coaches themselves, the facility will also manufacture rail wheels, which are essential for railway infrastructure. This initiative is expected to generate employment opportunities and contribute to the modernization of India’s railway network.

Boosting Domestic Manufacturing
This venture supports the government’s efforts to increase domestic manufacturing capabilities and reduce dependence on imports. Manufacturing Vande Bharat coaches and rail wheels locally allows India to strengthen its railway sector and become more self-reliant. Moreover, the project is anticipated to bring advanced technology and specialized knowledge to Jharkhand, promoting further industrial expansion and progress in the region.
