Titagarh Rail — riding India's metro wave

Initiating coverage on the rail-capex compounder

14 Sept 2025·TITAGARH·Buy·Capital Goods

The thesis

Titagarh's freight-wagon legacy plus its metro & Vande Bharat order book make it a multi-cycle compounder on Indian rail capex, with order-book visibility through FY28.

The build

  • Wagons: the cash engine — steady, contracted, unglamorous
  • Metro coaches: the growth engine — city after city entering procurement
  • Vande Bharat: the optionality — margin mix improves with every tranche

Where we stand

Buy. Execution is the watch-item — this is a delivery story now, not an order-win story.
