The Chamber of Railway Industries (Rail Chamber) welcomes strategic partnerships with a diverse range of stakeholders. Our partnership framework is designed to move beyond traditional networking, focusing on tangible outcomes in research, innovation, safety, and India’s global leadership.

1. Who Can Partner With Us?

  • Government Ministries & PSUs: We serve as a technical and advisory partner to the Ministry of Railways, NITI Aayog, and DPIIT. We help bridge the gap between policy intent and industrial execution, ensuring that "Make in India" goals are met through streamlined regulations.

  • Academic & Research Institutions: We partner with premier institutes (IITs, NITs, and the National Rail and Transportation Institute) to foster industry-academia linkages, ensuring that the next generation of engineers is equipped with "Industry 4.0" skills.
  • Global Railway Organisations: We collaborate with international bodies such as UIC, AAR, and UNIFE to harmonize standards, facilitating the smooth export of Indian railway technology to the world.
  • NGOs & Social Enterprises: We welcome partnerships focused on public welfare, specifically in areas of accessibility (Divyangjan-friendly stations), passenger safety, and environmental sustainability.

2. Strategic Objectives of Partnership

  • Co-Innovation & R&D: Access our technical committees to co-develop indigenous solutions for KAVACH, Hydrogen traction, and high-speed braking systems.
  • Skill Development: Participate in our "Rail-Skilling" initiatives to train the workforce in advanced welding, electronics, and digital signaling.
