With the rolling out of Indian Railways’ “zero-accident mission”, several global players, including French firm Thales, have geared up to be part of the plan to provide latest technology for strengthening the safety of India’s rail network.
The Railways intends to implement Train Protection Warning System (TPWS) on a total of approximately 7,900 km of main lines across the country.
Currently the technology is being implemented on 68-km long rail line near Chennai on a pilot basis by Thales, a major player in rail transport market which offers effective signalling and supervision to telecommunications for mainline rail and metro system.
“Indian market is very important for us,” said Alfred Veider, CEO of Thales in Austria.
