UKB Electronics Strengthens Market Presence by Diversifying into Indian Railways
New Delhi: UKB Electronics, India's leading electrical and electronics manufacturing company, received accreditation from the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO) and Railway coach factories to supply several products to Indian Railways.
