Chinese company disqualified for Vande Bharat Trainsets Project

NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): The Indian Railways has disqualified the bid of a consortium of a Chinese company and an Indian firm for the manufacturing of 44 Vande Bharat trainsets costing nearly Rs 1,800 crores. Now there are only two valid bids of BHEL and Medha Servo Drives. Medha, which had got the contract for the manufacturing for the first two such trains, has quoted the lowest bid, sources said.
Only three players had put the bid for the big contract including the CRRC-Pioneer Electric India, a joint venture between Beijing based CRRC Yongji Electric Ltd and India’s Pioneer Fil-Med Ltd, which has its plant in Haryana. It took almost four weeks for the railways to evaluate the tenders and take the final call. Railway officials had earlier said that the tender committee would take the decision on the validity of bids.
Before applying for the train set procurement tender, the CRRC-Pioneer Electric India had applied for registration here after it was made mandatory for companies with beneficial ownership in countries sharing land borders with India to get registered for participating in public procurement contracts.

DMRC may flag off its first driverless train on Christmas Day

NEW DELHI (Metro Rail News): The Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) is likely to run driverless trains from December- 25 according to officials. The first driverless train will be operated on the Magenta Line, between Janakpuri West and Botanical Garden as per sources.

However, an amendment in the Metro Railways General Rules, 2015, need to be made for allowing driverless train operations as per the laws of Union Government.
The move to introduce driverless trains comes as a step towards switching to the unattended train operations (UTO) mode, using the hi-tech signalling technology called the communication-based train control (CBTC).
“The driverless train technology is already in use in trains running on Pink Line (Majlis Park-Shiv Vihar) and Magenta Line (Botanical Garden-Janakpuri West), but a driver is present on each train for the time being– the train is manually started by the driver and thereon its runs on the CBTC signalling system”, an official was stated saying.
“Driverless technology was introduced on the Magenta Line and the Pink Line in 2017, but until now, the Metro was conducting rigorous trials to ensure that trains could safely switch over to driverless operations”, adds an official.

The move is aimed at reducing the problems caused by human errors through the initiative of running driverless trains.
