Hilton Metal Forging Ltd, leading steel forging manufacturer and distributor, is focusing on the railway forged wagon wheel market. With a capacity to manufacture 48,000 wheels annually, the company aims to meet the increasing demand in the replacement market. Company is also looking forward to bigger Railway Forged Wagon Wheel Orders in the near future through tender route.
The company has become the first Indian MSME to produce Indigenous Forged Railway Wheels, having successfully developed and supplied railway wheels to the Indian Railways, thus enabling it to participate in Global tenders. In early 2022, a company started developing a specialized product called Railway Forged Wagon Wheels.
Over the past 18 months, the company has supplied over 2000 wheels and rail gear blanks to Indian Railway Workshops. Hilton Metal Forgings Limited has been approved by RITES Ltd for its Railway Forged Wagon Wheel due to its quality and delivery. The company, with a successful track record, is a strong bidder for the Indian Railways Global Wheel Tender and anticipates larger orders in the future.
