Hilton Metal Forging Receives RITES Certification for Wheel Production
Imagine a company that makes wheels for trains.
This company, Hilton Metal Forging, just got a special stamp of approval called RITES certification.
This is like getting a permission slip to sell their wheels.
They will now start making wheels for new, fancy trains like Vande Bharat and LHB trains.
The company plans to make thousands of these wheels soon.
They are also the first small business to get this approval under a program called "Make-in-India," which helps Indian companies.
The government is spending a lot of money to upgrade the railway system, which is good news for this company.
Hilton Metal Forging received RITES certification for Vande Bharat and LHB wheel production.
The certification is a prerequisite for commercial output.
The company aims to manufacture over 3,000 forged railway wagon wheelsets in FY26.
Hilton Metal Forging has a total installed capacity of 20,000 wheelsets per annum.
This makes Hilton the first private MSME to achieve this recognition under 'Make-in-India'.
