Since its establishment in July 2023, Minel India Ltd has grown at remarkable speed and today operates from a new, modern production facility in Faridabad, near New Delhi.
India represents one of the most strategically significant markets for Minel Global Engineering, strengthened by the official RDSO approval of our high-reach pantograph, a certification held by only a select number of manufacturers worldwide. This approval enables rail operators across India to access a globally certified, high-performance solution built to meet rigorous international standards.
Minel’s certified high-reach pantographs are already making measurable progress across the Indian rail network. By consistently meeting strict requirements and passing comprehensive RDSO audits, Minel has earned a position among a distinguished group of manufacturers trusted by Indian Railways. This achievement reflects our commitment to technical excellence, reliability, and long-term performance and solidifies our reputation as a reliable partner in one of the world’s fastest-growing railway markets.
With continuous investment and a clear focus on long-term development, the Indian market remains a central pillar of Minel’s global growth and innovation strategy. Our facility in Faridabad was designed specifically for pantograph production, enabling us to gradually localize manufacturing, expand our capacity, and bring production closer to our customers. Local production ensures faster delivery, greater operational reliability, and tailor-made solutions adapted to the unique requirements of Indian Railways.
The synergy between Minel’s advanced R&D in Serbia and the skilled local expertise of Minel India allows us to deliver more than equipment; we provide integrated mobility solutions grounded in safety, reliability, and operational excellence. Our RDSO-approved technology supports energy-efficient operation of up to 160 km/h, performing reliably even in challenging rail environments where standard systems cannot operate.
Following a major tender secured with Indian Railways, Minel India is entering a phase of significant expansion. Our new Faridabad plant, located in one of India’s key industrial zones, was engineered to support large-scale production, with an initial capacity of up to 150 pantographs per month in a single shift, and the potential to double output through two-shift operation. This increased capacity enables us to meet rising market demand, ensure consistent quality, and build a robust foundation for further growth across South Asia.
What defines Minel India is not only rapid expansion, but the strength of its people. By combining global innovation with local expertise, Minel Global Engineering delivers trusted, customer-focused, and future-ready pantograph solutions for a new era of mobility in India.
