The Equity Shares have not been recommended by any U.S. federal or state securities commission or regulatory
authority. Furthermore, the foregoing authorities have not confirmed the accuracy or determined the adequacy
of this Prospectus or approved or disapproved the Equity Shares. Any representation to the contrary is a criminal
offence in the United States. In making an investment decision, investors must rely on their own examination of
our Company and the terms of the Issue, including the merits and risks involved. The Equity Shares have not
been and will not be registered under the Securities Act or any other applicable law of the United States and,
unless so registered, may not be offered or sold within the United States, except pursuant to an exemption from,
or in a transaction not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable U.S. state
securities laws. Accordingly, the Equity Shares are being offered and sold (i) within the United States only to
persons reasonably believed to be “qualified institutional buyers” (as defined in Rule 144A and referred to in
this Prospectus as “U.S. QIBs”. For the avoidance of doubt, the term “U.S. QIBs” does not refer to a category of
institutional investor defined under applicable Indian regulations and referred to in this Prospectus as “QIBs”) in
transactions exempt from, or not subject to, the registration requirements of the Securities Act, and (ii) outside

Notice to Prospective Investors in the European Economic Area
This Prospectus has been prepared on the basis that all offers of Equity Shares will be made pursuant to an
exemption under the Prospectus Directive, as implemented in Member States of the European Economic Area
(“EEA”), from the requirement to produce a prospectus for offers of Equity Shares. The expression “Prospectus
Directive” means Directive 2003/71/EC of the European Parliament and Council EC (and amendments thereto,
including the 2010 PD Amending Directive and Prospectus Regulations (EU) 2017/1129, to the extent
applicable and to the extent implemented in the Relevant Member State (as defined below)) and includes any
relevant implementing measure in each Member State that has implemented the Prospectus Directive (each a
“Relevant Member State”). Accordingly, any person making or intending to make an offer within the EEA of
Equity Shares which are the subject of the placement contemplated in this Prospectus should only do so in
circumstances in which no obligation arises for our Company or any of the BRLMs to produce a prospectus for
such offer. None of our Company or the BRLMs have authorized, nor do they authorize, the making of any offer
of Equity Shares through any financial intermediary, other than the offers made by the BRLMs which constitute
the final placement of Equity Shares contemplated in this Prospectus.
Information to Distributors (as defined below)
Solely for the purposes of the product governance requirements contained within: (a) EU Directive 2014/65/EU
on markets in financial instruments, as amended (“MiFID II”); (b) Articles 9 and 10 of Commission Delegated
Directive (EU) 2017/593 supplementing MiFID II; and (c) local implementing measures (together, the “MiFID
II Product Governance Requirements”), and disclaiming all and any liability, whether arising in tort, contract or
otherwise, which any “manufacturer” (for the purposes of the MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) may
otherwise have with respect thereto, the Equity Shares have been subject to a product approval process, which
has determined that such Equity Shares are: (i) compatible with an end target market of retail investors and
investors who meet the criteria of professional clients and eligible counterparties, each as defined in MiFID II;
and (ii) eligible for distribution through all distribution channels as are permitted by MiFID II (the “Target
Market Assessment”). Notwithstanding the Target Market Assessment, “distributors” (for the purposes of the
MiFID II Product Governance Requirements) (“Distributors”) should note that: the price of the Equity Shares
may decline and investors could lose all or part of their investment; the Equity Shares offer no guaranteed
income and no capital protection; and an investment in the Equity Shares is compatible only with investors who
do not need a guaranteed income or capital protection, who (either alone or in conjunction with an appropriate
financial or other adviser) are capable of evaluating the merits and risks of such an investment and who have
sufficient resources to be able to bear any losses that may result therefrom. The Target Market Assessment is
without prejudice to the requirements of any contractual, legal or regulatory selling restrictions in relation to the
Issue. For the avoidance of doubt, the Target Market Assessment does not constitute: (a) an assessment of
suitability or appropriateness for the purposes of MiFID II; or (b) a recommendation to any investor or group of
investors to invest in, or purchase, or take any other action whatsoever with respect to the Equity Shares. Each
Distributor is responsible for undertaking its own target market assessment in respect of the Equity Shares and
determining appropriate distribution channels.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS
This Prospectus contains certain “forward-looking statements”. These forward-looking statements generally can
be identified by words or phrases such as “aim”, “anticipate”, “believe”, “expect”, “estimate”, “intend”,
“objective”, “plan”, “project”, “will”, “will continue”, “will pursue” or other words or phrases of similar import.
Similarly, statements that describe our strategies, objectives, plans, prospects or goals are also forward-looking
statements. All forward-looking statements are subject to risks, uncertainties and assumptions about us that
could cause actual results to differ materially from those contemplated by the relevant forward-looking
statement.
Actual results may differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements due to risks or
uncertainties associated with the expectations with respect to, but not limited to, regulatory changes pertaining
to the industries in India in which our Company operates and our ability to respond to them, our ability to
successfully implement our strategy, our growth and expansion, technological changes, our exposure to market
risks, general economic and political conditions in India which have an impact on its business activities or
investments, the monetary and fiscal policies of India, inflation, deflation, unanticipated turbulence in interest
rates, foreign exchange rates, equity prices or other rates or prices, the performance of the financial markets in
India and globally, changes in domestic laws, regulations and taxes and changes in competition in the industries
in which we operate. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from our Company’s
expectations include, but are not limited to, the following:
• Loss of or reduction in business from the Indian Railways, any direct borrowing by the Indian Railways or introduction of any new avenues of funding by the MoR;
• Any slowdown in the growth of Indian Railways;
• Any disruption in our funding sources or any inability to raise funds at a low cost;
• Non-availability of funding from the Life Insurance Corporation of India;
• In the event the interest margin on the Rolling Stock Assets funded by our Company is not favourable;
• Mismatch in the tenor of our leases and borrowings may lead to reinvestment and liquidity risk;
• Uncertainty of the continuing impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and operations;
• Any adverse change in the terms of the Standard Lease Agreement entered into by us with the MoR; and
• Any downgrade in our credit ratings or India’s debt rating.
For further discussion of factors that could cause the actual results to differ from the expectations, see “Risk
Factors”, “Our Business” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of
Operations” on pages 24, 105 and 280, respectively. By their nature, certain market risk disclosures are only
estimates and could be materially different from what actually occurs in the future. As a result, actual gains or
losses could materially differ from those that have been estimated.
We cannot assure the Bidders that the expectations reflected in these forward-looking statements will prove to
be correct. Given these uncertainties, Bidders are cautioned not to place undue reliance on such forward-looking
statements and not to regard such statements as a guarantee of future performance.
Forward-looking statements reflect the current views of our Company as on the date of this Prospectus and are
not a guarantee of future performance. These statements are based on the management’s beliefs and
assumptions, which in turn are based on currently available information. Although, we believe the assumptions
upon which these forward-looking statements are based are reasonable, any of these assumptions could prove to
be inaccurate, and the forward-looking statements based on these assumptions could be incorrect. Neither our
Company, our Directors, the Selling Shareholder, the BRLMs nor any of their respective affiliates have any
obligation to update or otherwise revise any statements reflecting circumstances arising after the date hereof or
to reflect the occurrence of underlying events, even if the underlying assumptions do not come to fruition.
In accordance with SEBI requirements, our Company, the Selling Shareholder and the BRLMs shall severally
ensure that Bidders in India are informed of material developments from the date of this Prospectus in relation
to the statements and undertakings made by them in this Prospectus until the time of the grant of listing and

our Company and the BRLMs informed of all material developments pertaining to the Equity Shares under the
Issue and itself, as Selling Shareholder from the date of this Prospectus until receipt of final listing and trading
approvals by the Stock Exchanges for this Issue, that may be material from the context of the Issue.
