A consortium of Invensys Rail and Frauscher Sensor Technik has won a major new contract worth a total of £7.3m from India’s Mumbai Rail Vikas Corporation (MRVC) to supply axle counters to the Central and Western railways.
The World Bank-funded project will see the consortium design, supply, install, test and commission 1500 Multi Section Digital Axle Counters in a bid to expand capacity and improve safety on key parts of Mumbai’s commuter network, which is amongst the busiest in the world.
MRVC is a state owned company, which undertakes suburban rail enhancement projects in Mumbai.
The city’s 319km network is being upgraded significantly to meet growing demand and provide urban regeneration.
