Ukraine fallout: Railways to manufacture Vande Bharat wheels in Bengaluru to offset supply crisis
NEW DELHI: With its plan to import Vande Bharat train wheels from Ukraine impeded by the ongoing war, the Indian Railways has decided to manufacture them at its Bengaluru factory to ensure the prime minister’s pet project is rolled out on time, say sources.
The first batch of 128 wheels, out of a cumulative order for 36,000 at a cost of USD 16 million, have been transported from Ukraine to its neighbouring Romania by road and are currently stuck there.
