Bhopal: In a major push towards industrialization and indigenous manufacturing, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh on Saturday laid the foundation stone for BEML’s greenfield rail manufacturing unit, ‘Brahma’, in Umaria village, Raisen district, Madhya Pradesh.

The ₹1,800 crore facility is expected to be a game-changer for the region, creating over 5,000 direct and indirect jobs and catalyzing local industry.

A National-Scale Project with Local Impact

The new plant, officially named BRAHMA (BEML Rail Hub for Manufacturing), is being developed by Bharat Earth Movers Limited (BEML) on 148 acres of land. The unit will manufacture metro coaches, Vande Bharat and Amrit Bharat trainsets, EMUs, and other high-speed rail components, significantly strengthening India’s transportation infrastructure.

Speaking at the ceremony, Defence Minister Rajnath Singh said, “This project will change the face of Madhya Pradesh. It’s not just a factory, but a milestone that represents India’s self-reliant future. More than 5,000 people will get employment, and small-scale industries will benefit across the region.”

He emphasized that the ‘Brahma’ plant is symbolic of Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s ‘Make in India’ and ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ missions, aimed at boosting local production and reducing dependency on imports.

Leaders Unite in Support of Development

The foundation stone laying ceremony was attended by top dignitaries including Madhya Pradesh Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav, Union Agriculture Minister Shivraj Singh Chouhan, and Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw (via video message). Senior government officials and BEML executives were also present.

Chief Minister Dr. Mohan Yadav hailed the occasion as a historic moment: “Today, the Gangotri of employment has come to Madhya Pradesh. Our government is determined to bring Swadeshi-based industrial development to every corner of the state.”

He added that with initiatives like BRAHMA, the state is poised to become a hub for both defense and rail sector manufacturing, attracting investment and nurturing talent.

A Green, High-Tech Manufacturing Hub

The BRAHMA facility is designed with a focus on sustainable manufacturing practices, including:

  • Zero Liquid Discharge systems
  • Rainwater harvesting
  • Use of renewable energy
  • Green landscaping and recycled materials

The plant’s initial production capacity will be 125–200 coaches per year, with plans to scale up to 1,100 coaches annually within five years. The project will integrate advanced design, assembly, and testing technologies, catering to both domestic and export markets.

India’s Manufacturing Story Gets a New Chapter

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw, in his message, stressed the transformative impact of the project on India’s manufacturing sector:

“Under the leadership of PM Modi, Indian Railways has seen massive upgrades. With the addition of BRAHMA, Madhya Pradesh will become a core center for manufacturing and export of rail infrastructure.”

BEML CMD Shantanu Roy reiterated the company’s commitment to innovation and excellence. He revealed that the first set of coaches is expected to roll out within 18 months.
