DB RRTS Showcases Smart Maintenance Technologies with Würth Collaboration Supporting Sustainable and Efficient Operations for India’s First Regional Rapid

Transit System – Namo Bharat

 DB RRTS Operations India Pvt. Ltd., a subsidiary of Deutsche Bahn International Operations (DB IO), today introduced an important development aimed at improving the efficiency and sustainability of maintenance operations for India’s first semi-high-speed regional rapid transit system—the Namo Bharat corridor implemented by National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC).

 As the operator and maintainer for the National Capital Region Transport Corporation (NCRTC)-led Delhi-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor, DB RRTS has partnered with Würth Industrial Services India to support smarter, safer, and more sustainable rail operations. NCRTC always encourages development and adoption of new-age technological solutions for enhancing efficiency and commuter-centricity of the system.

Sustainable Maintenance with Würth

 This Indo-German collaboration marks the beginning of a long-term effort to enhance depot-level maintenance using environmentally friendly practices. DB RRTS has adopted Würth’s REFILLO®mat aerosol refill system at the Duhai depot—becoming the first rail operator in India to use this technology. The system helps reduce hazardous waste and packaging, while improving workplace safety.

 In addition to the REFILLO®mat system, Würth will support DB RRTS through automated inventory management, modular storage solutions (ORSY®mat), and improved supply chain coordination. The Würth “System Bus”—a mobile showroom for on-site product demonstrations—was also displayed as part of the launch.

 “This collaboration with Würth is not just about tools—it’s about building smarter, sustainable systems for future-ready railways,” said Mr. Niko Warbanoff, CEO, DB E.C.O. Group & DB International Operations. “It reflects our shared German legacy of engineering excellence and commitment to India’s Make-in-India and sustainability goals. Therefore, I am very happy and proud about the partnership with Würth.”

 The event, held in the presence of media, was attended by Mr. Niko Warbanoff, CEO, DB E.C.O. Group & DB International Operations; Mr. Rahul Gupta, MD, Würth Industrial Services India; Mr. Praveen Goyal, CEO, DB RRTS; Mr. Michael Kortüm, COO, DB RRTS; and Mr. Anil Kumar Agarwal, CMO, DB RRTS, along with other top officials from DB RRTS and Würth.
