New Delhi: RailTel has signed an MoU with Quadrant Future Tek Limited for exploring and delivering KAVACH (Train Collision Avoidance System) implementation projects for Indian Railways and Railways abroad. The MoU lays out the framework for Quadrant to partner exclusively with RailTel on delivering the specific targeted opportunity related to KAVACH.
KAVACH is an indigenously developed automatic train protection system by the Indian Railways. KAVACH is a highly technology intensive system, which requires safety certification of highest order. KAVACH was adopted as a national train protection system by Ministry of Railways in July 2020. Implementation of KAVACH on Indian Railway’s network is one of the priority areas of Indian Railways.
Quadrant Future Tek Limited is under the process of final approval by RDSO as an OEM for KAVACH project. RailTel has in-house team of experts in the Railway Signaling system and is fully capable of taking up such massive upgrade projects like KAVACH. Both the parties, with their individual expertise combined, will now aggressively explore KAVACH project opportunity.
The MoU has been signed at RailTel Corporate Office, New Delhi on Wednesday. RailTel CMD Sanjai Kumar expressed his excitement over this collaboration. He said that RailTel is committed to contribute in the journey of Indian Railways for implementation of indigenous safety systems like KAVACH and will explore to proliferate the KAVACH technology abroad.
