Pinnacle Industries, one of India’s leading providers of automotive and railway seating solutions, has announced its official partnership with Indian Railways to design and manufacture sleeper berths and executive seating solutions for the newly launched Amrit Bharat Express.

The Amrit Bharat Express, positioned as Indian Railways’ next generation of modern, low-cost, high-speed trains, has been introduced as a transformative step in long-distance travel across the country. The service aims to connect major cities with faster, safer, and more affordable journeys, making rail travel more accessible to a wider segment of passengers.

As part of this landmark project, Pinnacle Industries has developed ergonomically engineered sleeper berths and executive seating tailored for both air-conditioned and non-air-conditioned environments. The seating solutions are designed to deliver superior comfort and durability, while incorporating advanced safety features. The upgraded cushion thickness enhances passenger comfort during long journeys, while improved color coordination and refined aluminum extrusions bring a modern aesthetic to the interiors. The company has also incorporated “anti-injury” fittings across its designs to minimize risks for travelers. In addition, the seating systems meet stringent fire safety standards, being fully compliant with EN45545-2 HL3 and incorporating fire-retardant materials in line with Indian Railways’ requirements.

Commenting on the partnership, Arihant Mehta, President of Pinnacle Industries, said, “We are honored to be a part of this visionary initiative by Indian Railways. Our seating solutions for the Amrit Bharat Express reflect our commitment to designing products that combine comfort, safety, and innovation, while being proudly Made in India. With this, we continue to drive India’s vision of modern, accessible, and reliable public transport.”

With decades of expertise in mobility interiors, Pinnacle Industries has consistently positioned itself at the forefront of India’s transportation modernization efforts. The collaboration with Indian Railways reinforces the company’s role as a trusted partner in shaping the future of rail travel, while strengthening its leadership in building world-class, passenger-centric mobility solutions.
