Airfloa Rail Technology Limited has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with KTK Group Co. Ltd. to jointly pursue eligible Platform Screen Door (PSD) projects in India. The collaboration aims to strengthen Airfloa's manufacturing capabilities through technology transfer and domestic production of specialized railway equipment.

The arrangement combines KTK’s engineering expertise in PSD systems with Airfloa’s local execution capabilities. It envisages an Indian manufacturing programme led by Airfloa for selected mechanical and electrical components used in full-height platform screen door systems. This initiative supports the broader goal of advancing domestic localization in the railway sector.

Scope of collaboration

The MOU outlines specific roles for both parties to ensure efficient project execution and technology integration:

• Manufacturing: Airfloa will lead the proposed Indian manufacturing programme for selected components of full-height PSD systems.
  • Mechanical components: Fixed door panels, emergency exit doors, fixed screens, columns, base supports, and platform escape doors.
  • Electrical components: Cables and power supply systems.
• Technology & Design: KTK will provide system design, engineering expertise, proprietary technology, technical documentation, and technical oversight.
• Execution: Airfloa will handle domestic manufacturing, local project management, installation, testing, commissioning, and customer coordination.
• Project Pursuit: The companies will jointly pursue eligible PSD projects in India through tender-specific joint ventures, consortiums, or other permitted structures, subject to applicable approvals.

Strategic implications

This partnership leverages Airfloa’s existing infrastructure and experience in railway equipment manufacturing. With over 27 years of operating history, the company has delivered nine marquee turnkey rail projects, including Sri Lankan DEMU, Mainline Export Coaches, Agra-Kanpur Metro, RRTS, Vistadome, and Vande Bharat Express. The new agreement expands its portfolio into high-demand metro safety infrastructure.

What the Numbers Show

While specific financial values for the MOU are not disclosed, the operational scope highlights a clear division of labor that optimizes resource allocation. By assigning KTK to high-value engineering and IP-intensive tasks while retaining manufacturing and last-mile execution locally, Airfloa positions itself to capture value in both production and service layers. This structure reduces dependency on imports for critical mechanical and electrical components, aligning with national localization mandates in the capital goods sector.
