Siemens Consortium Partners with National High Speed Rail Corporation

The consortium led by Infracon Private Limited, Siemens Limited, and Siemens Mobility GmbH has been awarded a landmark contract by National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL) - the implementing agency for India’s first high speed rail project. The order includes the design, installation, and long-term maintenance of advanced signaling and telecommunications technologies. The project is expected to be executed over a period of 54 months, with Siemens providing 15 years of maintenance services, ensuring lifecycle reliability.

Under the scope, Siemens will implement European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2-based signaling and train control technologies. ETCS Level 2 is a globally proven signaling standard and is currently operational in over 50 countries. The technologies will be designed to support train operations at speeds up to 350 km/h, enabling real-time train supervision, continuous wireless communication, and centralized traffic management.
