RailTel Corporation of India Ltd. has secured a major contract worth Rs 264 crore from East Central Railway for implementing the Kavach system across 607 route km of low-density railway track under East Central Railway’s jurisdiction.
Contract Value: Rs 264 crore
Contract Duration: 2 Years
The awarded contractor will be responsible for deploying Kavach, the indigenous Train Collision Avoidance System, across the 607 km of low-density railway track by July 14, 2027.
Kavach is an advanced train safety system specifically engineered to maintain a train’s speed within the parameters established by the signalling framework. This system continuously monitors the train’s speed and automatically enforces adherence to designated speed restrictions. If the train exceeds the allowed speed or fails to respond to specific signal aspects, ATP promptly activates the emergency brakes to bring the train to a stop.
This recent contract from East Central Railway contributes to a series of substantial orders that RailTel has secured in July, raising the total order value for the month to exceed ₹130 crore.
Recently, South Eastern Railway also issued bids for 2 major Kavach Contracts. The total combined value of both contracts stands at 419.79 Crores. To know more about this news: Click Here
