Chennai (Tamil Nadu) [India], January 27: Airfloa Rail Technology Limited (BSE – AIRFLOA | 544516 | INE0XBS01012), a leading manufacturer of railway rolling stock components and turnkey interior solutions, has announced a strategic collaboration with Janatics Industrial Automation Private Limited through the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU). The partnership aims at the development and supply of advanced Automatic Door Systems for railway applications across India’s rapidly modernising rail ecosystem.

Under the terms of the MoU, the two companies will jointly address the growing demand for reliable, safe, and automated door solutions in next-generation railway coaches. The scope of collaboration covers automatic door systems for modern platforms, including Freight EMU coaches and the prestigious Vande Bharat trainsets, which continue to set new benchmarks in passenger comfort and technology adoption.

The product portfolio outlined in the agreement includes Double Leaf Plug Doors, Automatic Single Leaf Plug Doors, Pocket Sliding Doors, and Automatic Fire Barrier Doors. These systems are increasingly becoming standard features in new railway coach designs and refurbishment programs, driven by enhanced safety norms, operational efficiency, and passenger convenience.

As part of the collaboration framework, Airfloa Rail Technology Limited will take the lead role in tender participation, customer engagement, and overall project execution. Janatics Industrial Automation, known for its expertise in industrial automation and pneumatic solutions, will contribute its technical know-how and manufacturing capabilities to support the development of robust and efficient automatic door subsystems tailored for railway environments.

The MoU significantly strengthens Airfloa’s position in a specialised and high-value subsystem segment within the railway supply chain. By expanding its automatic door systems portfolio, the company enhances its ability to participate not only in component-level tenders but also in integrated railway projects that demand end-to-end interior and subsystem solutions. This strategic move aligns with Airfloa’s long-term focus on execution clarity, commercial discipline, and sustained participation in large-scale railway modernisation programs.

Commenting on the development, Manikandan Dakshnamoorthy, Joint Managing Director of Airfloa Rail Technology Limited, stated that the MoU reflects the company’s commitment to strengthening critical subsystems required in contemporary railway coaches. He noted that the partnership with Janatics adds depth to Airfloa’s automatic door systems capabilities while maintaining a clear focus on execution efficiency and commercial alignment. According to him, the arrangement positions the company to participate in upcoming railway programs in a measured, disciplined, and scalable manner.

With Indian Railways and allied entities accelerating investments in modern rolling stock, safety upgrades, and passenger-centric innovations, the collaboration between Airfloa Rail and Janatics is expected to play a meaningful role in supporting these initiatives. The partnership underscores a shared vision to deliver dependable, technologically advanced solutions that meet evolving railway standards and operational requirements.
