"Warangal Railway Manufacturing Unit Set for Completion by 2026"

Union Coal Minister G Kishan Reddy recently said the construction of the Railway Manufacturing Unit (RMU) at Warangal is progressing on schedule and is expected to be fully completed next year. Describing the project as a “game-changing initiative” for the region, Reddy highlighted the speed and scale of the ongoing work.

Spread over 160 acres, the RMU’s first phase involves an investment of ₹521 crore. Reddy noted that sustainable methods and advanced technology are being used to build the world-class facility, reflecting the Centre’s commitment to a modern and environmentally responsible railway ecosystem. The unit will be equipped with technology-driven machinery.

The facility is expected to manufacture state-of-the-art MEMU (Mainline Electric Multiple Unit) rakes of 16–20 cars, aimed at improving short- and medium-distance train travel across the country. The RMU is also projected to strengthen the railway sector, generate large-scale employment for local youth, and boost ancillary industries in the region.

Reddy, who arrived in Warangal earlier via Vande Bharat Express, also interacted with officials from the Archaeological Survey of India (ASI), Greater Warangal Municipal Corporation (GWMC), and the Ministry of Textiles. He reviewed progress on several key central government projects, including tourism development around the Bhadrakali temple, land acquisition for the proposed Warangal Airport, and the Kakatiya Mega Textile Park.
