Titagarh Rail Systems (TRSL) has launched the first indigenous 25T Bollard Pull Tug built at its facility in Titagarh, Barrackpore, for the Indian Navy. The 25T Bollard Pull Tug was launched at the Shipyard in Titagarh, West Bengal, in alignment with the tides that facilitate deployment of the Tug in the water. As an integral part of the transformative policies introduced by the Government of India, such as Make in India and Atmanirbhar Bharat, Titagath is actively engaged in building a fleet of six specialized tugs for the Indian Navy. Each tug is meticulously designed to provide a 25-ton Bollard Pull, showcasing its robust capabilities in diverse maritime operations.

Their primary functions involve assisting naval vessels, including ships and submarines, in berthing, unberthing, and maneuvering. Furthermore, they play a crucial role in the ‘cold move’ of vessels undergoing maintenance, ensuring seamless operations during dry docking and undocking processes. In adverse weather conditions, these tugboats are essential for providing support to warships, preventing potential damage, and offering firefighting assistance. They are also equipped to handle more challenging assignments such as salvage operations and Search & Rescue (SAR) missions beyond the confines of the port.

Titagarh Rail Systems is formerly known as Titagarh Wagons. The company is mainly engaged in the manufacturing and selling of Freight Wagons, Passenger Coaches, Steel Castings, Specialised Equipments & Bridges, Ships, Heavy Earthmoving and Mining Equipments, etc.
