WAP was set up in 1984 at Yelahanka, in Bangalore, for the manufacture of wheels and axles, since other local manufacturers such as the Durgapur Steel Plant were unable to satisfy IR’s needs, and imports were costly. WAP uses some advanced techniques such as pressure-moulding of wheels. A lot of WAP’s products are made from scrap metal generated by IR itself.
