Jujhar Logistics Invests Rs 329.53 Crore in 15 Auto Carrier Wagon Rakes to Expand Green Rail Logistics
Mumbai, November 13, 2026: Jujhar Logistics Limited has announced an investment of Rs 329.53 crore through its subsidiary to acquire 15 rakes of Greater Height Auto Carrier Wagons, types ACT 1 and ACT 3, according to a company press release. The company has placed a purchase order with Texmaco Rail & Engineering Ltd. for the manufacture and supply of 434 auto car wagons as part of its broader strategy to scale up vehicle logistics capabilities and drive revenue and volume growth.
The ACT 1 and ACT 3 wagons are purpose-built for the Indian automobile sector and developed in line with international standards within the Double Stack Dwarf Container profile. Alongside standard passenger cars, the new design enables the transport of sport utility vehicles (SUVs) on both decks. Given the increasing share of SUVs in the production mix of major automakers, the addition of these wagons is expected to significantly boost the rail modal share across the automobile industry, the release noted.
The acquisition aligns with Jujhar Logistics’ ongoing shift toward environmentally sustainable transport. Having already invested in compressed natural gas (CNG) vehicles, the company plans to transport vehicles for major original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) via rail. Shifting freight from conventional road transport to railways helps ease road congestion, lower energy and fuel consumption, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions while offering higher loading capacity and optimized transportation costs.
Commenting on the development, Arshdeep Singh Mundi, Managing Director, Jujhar Group, said, “This investment is a decisive step in building rail capability alongside our road network. Purpose-designed wagons that carry more vehicles, including SUVs on both decks, will help us serve our automobile customers more efficiently, while lowering fuel consumption and carbon emissions.”
