Siemens Mobility: A Key Player in the Development of India’s Railway Infrastructure

Siemens Mobility has achieved significant success by implementing its 1000th microprocessor-based interlocking system (MPI) in India, this is reported by the railway transport news portal Railway Supply.

This system was installed at Silda Station in Kolkata, which is the second-largest station in the country.

The station serves 1.5 million passengers daily and has 28 tracks, making it a critical transportation hub.

The implementation of the 1000th MPI was a milestone for Siemens Mobility, as their train control systems now cover 14,000 kilometers of national railways and are installed at 20% of the country’s stations.

Such scale makes Siemens Mobility a key player in the development of India’s railway infrastructure.

The Westrace microprocessor-based interlocking system installed at Silda Station is designed to enhance the safety and efficiency of railway operations. The MPI controls all aspects of train movement, including signaling, switch operations, and track condition monitoring.

The use of microprocessor technology significantly reduces the likelihood of errors and improves system reliability.

The implementation of MPI also supports the Make in India initiative, aimed at promoting local manufacturing and technology.

The development and production of MPI systems for India are localized, ensuring job creation and national economic development.

Siemens Mobility actively collaborates with Indian Railways, striving to modernize and improve its infrastructure.

Joint efforts are focused on enhancing safety levels, improving operational efficiency, and creating more comfortable conditions for passengers.

The implementation of modern train control technologies plays a key role in achieving these goals.

For many years, Siemens Mobility has demonstrated its commitment to innovation and quality by implementing advanced solutions for railway transport.

The 1000th MPI system in India is just one of the many achievements of the company on its way to creating a highly efficient and safe transportation system.

Thus, the implementation of the 1000th MPI in India confirms Siemens Mobility’s leadership in railway technology and underscores the importance of modern solutions for the development of national infrastructure.

The company continues to make significant contributions to improving railway communication, which is of great importance for India’s economic and social development.
