Frauscher India: growing in size and confidence
Frauscher India is facing its sixth year of existence and will continue to grow stronger. As managing director from the first day, Alok Sinha explains why – and how.
It has always been a major pillar of Frauscher’s philosophy to be close to the customer in all markets. India has huge potential for our company – which is one of many reasons why we’re present in not less than five locations throughout the country today. The head office is in Bengaluru, whilst the production facility is located in Mysore. Regional project offices can be found in New Delhi, Mumbai and Kolkota.
This growing infrastructure within our company has created a strong momentum. We are using this to investigate and realise a range of optimisations. These changes affect the working environment of our team and will assist them in reaching out to all of our customers with ease and within stipulated time frames. Thanks to the strengths that we have developed, we have even extended our coverage to customers outside the borders of India.
Our joint venture (JV) company Frauscher Rail Signalling Systems will operate from the same building as well. This JV Company with Hitachi was founded in 2016 in order to support Hitachi’s mainline railway projects in India as well as throughout the Asian railway market. We are happy to claim that the JV Company is performing very well and is successfully delivering one of our largest projects, the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor Project, for Hitachi.
As per the quote, “Innovation is seeing what everybody has seen and thinking what nobody has thought”, Frauscher also became a pioneer in introducing a set of solutions to the railway industry that is based on Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS). Through comprehensive research and development, Frauscher has made this technology applicable for dedicated railway applications. In India, we are currently working on our first local FTS project in the NCR region. With many more opportunities finding their way for various FTS applications, we are sure that Frauscher India will not only remain a leading provider for axle counters, but will also provide the market with unique tracking solutions. With a good backlog of orders, and many large projects in the pipeline, we are all set for continued success in the coming years.
