Order Book: Rs. 9,923 Crore
The company secured fresh orders worth over Rs. 5,200 crore during the quarter across Freight Rolling Stock, Railway Signalling, Electrification, and Transmission Infrastructure — pushing the total order book to Rs. 9,923 crore as of 30 June 2026, up from levels at the start of the quarter.

| Freight Car Division | 62.3% |
| Infra – Rail & Green Energy | 9.9% |
| Infra – Electrical | 18.2% |

Notably, the freight car order book mix has shifted sharply toward private sector and export orders — now 96.4% of the freight car book, up from 79% in FY26 and just 21% in FY25 — reflecting a structural shift in demand away from Indian Railways-only orders.

Management Commentary
Vice Chairman Indrajit Mookerjee attributed the EBITDA margin expansion to cost optimisation and improved profitability in the Infra – Rail & Green and Infra – Electrical businesses, noting that Indian Railways transported over 419 million tonnes of freight in Q1 FY27, generating revenue of more than Rs. 47,700 crore — a sign of continued strength in underlying rail logistics demand.
Managing Director Sudipta Mukherjee pointed to the order book expansion as providing multi-year execution visibility, and highlighted a new strategic partnership with Trinity Rail Global Inc. via the Touax Texmaco Railcar Leasing platform, which the company describes as India’s first globally benchmarked railcar leasing platform. He tied the quarter’s progress to the company’s “Vision 2030” roadmap, which aims to expand into leasing, maintenance, digital engineering, and international rail solutions alongside the core wagon and infrastructure business.
Strategic Developments
- Diversification push: Texmaco is entering Renewable Energy and Defence manufacturing as part of a broader strategy to reduce cyclicality and build new growth engines beyond its core freight car business.
- Manufacturing footprint: The company operates seven manufacturing facilities across West Bengal, Chhattisgarh, and Gujarat, spanning roughly 309 acres, including two steel foundries with combined capacity of 48,000 MTPA.
- Partnerships: Joint ventures with Wabtec (braking systems), Trinity Rail/Touax (railcar leasing), Nymwag (freight wagons), and Saira Asia (coach interiors) continue to support the company’s integrated manufacturing model.
