NAPL RIDES WITH INDIAN RAILWAYS
The year 2018-19 was a memorable year for NAPL. It was this year that NAPL was approved by Indian Railways / RDSO for manufacturing and supplying anti-vibration components for them.
India has the 4th largest rail network in the world after the USA, Russia, and China, covering approximately 65000 KM and expanding at a very fast rate. When it comes to Passenger-Kilometres per year on Railway, India ranks Number 2 in the world (after China), with a load of 1305 Billion Passenger Kilometres. India is also the largest producer, exporter as well as consumer of the LHB (Linke Hofmann Busche) Rail Coaches in the world. NAPL products were designed to meet the LHB coach requirements.
It was not an easy journey. We had to meet the stringent requirements of the Indian Railways from many perspectives – safety, comfort, and durability among them. Working with senior technical officials of Indian Railways, NAPL successfully designed and developed these anti-vibration components as per Indian Railways and LHB specifications.
Today, Indian Railways is one of NAPL’s largest customers. NAPL manufactures several Anti Vibration components for Indian Railways. The product range is manufactured includes Ball Joint Traction Lever, Ball Joint Roll Link, Axle Box Pivot Bush, Traction Centre Elastic Joint, Anchor Link, Longitudinal and Lateral Bump Stops, Rubber Pads for Primary Suspension, Primary Bump Stop and Rubber Springs.
With the success that has been achieved with RCF, ICF, and Zonal Railways, the engine manufacturing unit of Indian Railways Chittaranjan Locomotive Works in West Bengal has now placed orders on NAPL for Sandwich Mounts.
