Bondana Engineering Secures Rs 2.28 Billion LoA for Kavach System

Bondana Engineering has secured a Letter of Acceptance (LoA) from South Central Railways for a contract valued at Rs 2.28 billion. The project involves developing ground infrastructure to support the implementation of Kavach and installing a high-density 4G LTE-R network. This marks the company's entry into the railway sector, reflecting its expansion into railway technology and alignment with the Indian Government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat initiative.

The contract, valued at Rs 228,17,57,713, has a completion deadline of 720 days. The scope of work includes the installation of essential ground infrastructure for the Kavach system, the deployment of 4G LTE-R networks, and the construction of pile foundations for tower structures.

In addition to this project, IRCON International Limited has also received a Letter of Acceptance from Central Railways for a contract worth approximately Rs 1.94 billion. This contract encompasses the survey, design, supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of 665 towers for the Kavach system.

Kavach is an Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system developed to enhance railway safety. Designed by the Research Designs & Standards Organisation (RDSO) in collaboration with Medha Servo Drives, Kernex Microsystems, and HBL Power Systems, Kavach is intended to prevent train collisions by automatically applying brakes in emergency situations. The system plays a crucial role in improving railway safety and operational efficiency by minimizing human errors and enhancing signaling reliability.

With this contract, Bondana Engineering is making a strategic move into the railway infrastructure sector, reinforcing its position in advanced technology solutions and safety-driven innovations within the Indian transportation industry.
