Front Windshield for Train — Duratuf Glass

We use premium-grade float glass as the base material. The glass is carefully selected for optical clarity, minimal distortion, and consistent thickness. For laminated windshields, we use high-quality polyvinyl butyral (PVB) interlayers that bond the glass layers together.

The glass is cut to the required dimensions using precision cutting equipment. For curved windshields, the glass is heated and bent to the exact curvature required by the locomotive design. Duratuf Glass has extensive experience in producing both flat and curved glass products.

The windshield is created by bonding multiple layers of glass with PVB interlayers under heat and pressure. This lamination process creates a single, strong unit that holds together even when impacted. The number of layers and their thickness are determined by the required impact resistance level.

Edges are finished to prevent chipping and stress fractures. Each windshield undergoes rigorous quality checks — including optical clarity tests, impact resistance tests, and dimensional verification — before it leaves our facility.

Laminated windshields are the most common type used in trains. They consist of two or more layers of glass bonded together with a PVB interlayer. When impacted, the glass may crack but the PVB layer holds the fragments in place, preventing them from entering the cab and injuring the crew.

For operations in cold regions, heated windshields incorporate embedded heating elements that prevent fogging and ice formation. This ensures clear visibility even in freezing conditions.

For high-security applications — such as VIP trains or locomotives operating in sensitive areas — we manufacture bullet-resistant windshields. These use multiple layers of glass and polycarbonate to provide ballistic protection while maintaining optical clarity.

Duratuf Glass Industries Pvt. Ltd. was established in 1992 at Bahadurgarh, Haryana, and has grown into one of India’s leading flat and curved glass producers. We supply glass and glazing products to major vehicle OEMs including Ashok Leyland, Tata Motors, Volvo, SML Isuzu, Eicher, M&M, Scania, and Bharat Benz.

With manufacturing units in Haryana, Delhi, Indore, and Bangalore, we have the capacity and capability to produce large-format windshields for railway applications. Our state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities use advanced technology to design and produce custom-built windows that comply with production specifications.

Every locomotive and coach has different requirements. We offer custom sizes, curves, thicknesses, and finishes to match your exact specifications. Whether you need windshields for a new locomotive design or replacement glass for existing fleets, we can deliver.

As leading Automotive Glass Suppliers in Haryana, we are strategically located to serve North India’s railway and transport sectors with quick turnaround times. Our presence in Commercial Automotive Glass Indore and Bangalore ensures we can serve clients across the country.

Our glass products are manufactured in accordance with ISI standards. The complete process is carried out under controlled pressure, vacuum, and temperature to ensure homogeneous and consistent quality.

India’s weather is demanding — from the scorching heat of the plains to the freezing cold of the mountains. Our windshields are tested for UV exposure, extreme heat, monsoon humidity, and cold winters to ensure they perform reliably in all conditions.
