MoComp: Because technology connects – from India, for the world
Drive systems and bogies “Made in India” – developed to meet the demands of a connected world. Siemens Mobility is transforming its Nashik and Aurangabad locations into smart mobility hubs, setting new standards in international collaboration.
Global quality from local manufacturing
India is a country on the move – from every aspect. With one of the largest railway networks in the world, the country is a future market for modern mobility. Siemens Mobility has recognized this potential and established two state-of-the-art manufacturing sites in Nashik and Aurangabad. Here, drive systems and bogies are produced for a wide range of rail vehicles – not only for the Indian market, but also for rail projects around the globe. Customers benefit from local value creation, short supply routes, attractive production costs – and uncompromising Siemens quality.
With our manufacturing capabilities in India, we can better serve our global customers.
Aurangabad – advanced bogies for global mobility
The state-of-the-art bogie production facility in Aurangabad began operations in 2022. This site manufactures bogies for both local and international markets. The portfolio includes, among other products, the three-axle bogie weighing 23.3 tons for India’s largest locomotive class (the 9,000-horsepower EF-9K locomotives of Indian Railways) and bogies for trams and metro systems serving customers worldwide. Bogies produced in Aurangabad are characterized by scalable, modular design and robust construction. The drive units and bogies are optimized for use with heavy loads under demanding climatic and infrastructural conditions, such as exposure to extreme heat, high humidity, or uneven tracks.
Nashik – competence center for innovative drive technology
Nashik is where all the action takes place when it comes to high-performance drive systems manufactured in India: Here, Siemens develops, tests and fabricates powerful drive systems, including components for Vande Bharat trains, based on state-of-the-art traction and auxiliary converters utilizing silicon carbide technology. The result is maximum energy efficiency, durability and performance – tested according to international standards (IEC 60349-2) , and of course in Siemens quality.
These drive systems, together with induction motors and gear units, form the backbone of state-of-the-art rail vehicles. After assembly, these systems are integrated into advanced bogies in Aurangabad.
Engineering without borders
What Siemens Mobility and MoComp in India deliver for railways around the world is the result of global collaboration. Teams from Europe and Asia work closely together in development, procurement and production. Co-engineering spanning continents allows products to be quickly adapted to address different markets and synergies to be efficiently leveraged. The result is products that combine proven European engineering with local manufacturing – setting international standards. This provides rail vehicle OEMs and rail operators with planning reliability and the flexibility to implement projects according to specific requirements – in both high-speed and urban transit domains.
We leverage the excellent skills of our employees in India to produce high-quality components for our global activities.
Make in India – a commitment with a future
Siemens Mobility is a partner of “Make in India,” a strategic initiative by the Indian government to position the country as a global manufacturing hub. For Siemens, this means more than just local production – as it also involves building up expertise, establishing long-term partnerships and investing in India’s economic transformation.
This approach delivers benefits for customers worldwide. Those who choose components from India benefit not only from Siemens’ proven quality and delivery performance, but also from a company that embraces responsibility, helps shape markets and is committed to growth. What Siemens Mobility is building in India goes far beyond new manufacturing sites. It is a forward-looking ecosystem of technology, quality, global collaboration with a clear customer focus. Made in India is becoming a global hallmark of quality for a new era of sustainable, efficient mobility.
