Texmaco Rail & Engineering has successfully completed the acquisition of Jindal Rail Infrastructure (JRIL), making JRIL a wholly owned subsidiary of Texmaco. Previously, the company had entered into agreements with JRIL's security holders, including JITF Urban Infrastructure Services and Siddeshwari Tradex, to acquire 100% of JRIL's share capital on a fully diluted basis.

With the acquisition now finalized, Texmaco gains full control over JRIL's research, design, and manufacturing capabilities, particularly in commodity-specific freight wagons. This acquisition strengthens Texmaco’s global product offerings and innovative edge, positioning the company as a leader in design and rolling stock solutions. Given the growing demand for new rolling stock designs in the private sector, this deal marks a significant step forward for Texmaco in offering comprehensive solutions.

Texmaco Rail & Engineering is a private engineering and infrastructure firm in India, focused on manufacturing railway wagons, coaches, locomotives, and related services.
