About MV Electrosystems
MV Electrosystems was incorporated in 2009. It is involved in designing, developing, assembling and manufacturing electrical and power electronics equipment used in railway rolling stock. It has gained a strong presence in this niche market of railway electrical components and has been significantly benefiting from the government's drive towards indigenous manufacturing and railway electrification.
It offers a wide product range which consists of advanced IGBT-based three-phase drive propulsion systems used in electric locomotives, railway coach switchgear panels, and cable protection management systems.
The company has been facing headwinds on the financial front. In FY26, the company's total income decreased from ₹64.64 crore in FY25 to ₹49.79 crore in FY26. Despite this, the IPO has received massive attention from investors because of the thematic appeal of the railway infrastructure industry.
