In a major win for its business expansion, Oriental Rail Infrastructure Limited has announced that its joint venture, ABOR Projects LLP, has been awarded a significant contract by the Central Railway. The order, valued at approximately ₹44.18 crore, focuses on the high-quality refurbishment of passenger coaches.
Refurbishing 75 LHB Coaches in Mumbai
The contract tasks the joint venture with the turnkey refurbishment of 75 LHB (Linke Hofmann Busch) coaches. This essential work is scheduled to take place at the Parel Loco Workshop in Mumbai. The project is designed to modernize the coaches, ensuring they meet updated standards for passenger comfort and operational efficiency.
Project Scope and Timeline
The refurbishment process is comprehensive and includes several key technical upgrades:
- Interior Work: Full furnishing and professional seat installation.
- Electrical Upgrades: Complete overhaul and enhancement of electrical systems.
- Timeline: The entire project is slated for completion within 18 months from the date of the Letter of Acceptance.
The company formally notified the Bombay Stock Exchange (BSE) of this contract on November 8, 2026, in accordance with SEBI Listing Regulations. This development is a strategic step for Oriental Rail Infrastructure as it seeks to expand its footprint within the coach interior refurbishment market.
Subsidiary Secures Massive ₹630 Crore Wagon Contract
This recent achievement follows closely on the heels of another major development for the group. On November 3, 2026, the company’s wholly-owned subsidiary, Oriental Foundry Private Limited, received an amended contract from the Ministry of Railways.
This separate but massive project involves the manufacturing and supply of 1,560 BOXNS wagons. With the amendment, the total value of that specific contract has now reached ₹630.61 crore. These consecutive high-value orders are expected to draw significant attention from investors monitoring the company's growth in the railway infrastructure sector.
