Key features include real-time alerts sent via SMS and email to report critical defects, edge servers for instant data analysis, and obstruction detection to identify track issues quickly. These technologies are pivotal in ensuring timely interventions and safer operations for Indian Railways.

Expanding ITMS Across All Zones

Indian Railways is investing ₹180 crore in the ITMS project, planning to deploy these vehicles across all 17 zones. Currently, seven vehicles are operational, with plans to add 10 more. Each unit costs approximately ₹18 crore, reflecting the organization’s strong commitment to modernization and safety.

Collaboration with ADJ Engineering

The ITMS project is a collaboration between Indian Railways and ADJ Engineering, a company known for its innovation in rail infrastructure technology. Under the leadership of Manish Pandey, ADJ Engineering has developed various systems, including the Rail Inspection System and Ultrasonic Rail Testing System. These innovations align with Indian Railways’ priorities for modernizing and ensuring sustainable infrastructure.

Indian Railways’ ITMS project marks a significant step toward safer and more efficient rail operations. With advanced technology and real-time insights, the initiative transforms track monitoring and maintenance processes, benefiting passengers and maintenance teams alike.

This modernization project reinforces Indian Railways’ commitment to innovation, sustainability, and world-class service. By implementing ITMS, the organization is not only enhancing its operations but also setting a benchmark for safety and efficiency in rail travel.
