RailTel, with its team of experts in Railway Signalling System, is fully equipped to handle massive upgrade projects like KAVACH. The partnership between RailTel and Quadrant Future Tek Limited aims to aggressively explore KAVACH project opportunities both in India and abroad.

Chairman-cum-managing director of RailTel, Sanjai Kumar, expressed the commitment of RailTel to contribute to the implementation of indigenous safety systems like KAVACH and to promote the technology globally. Quadrant Future Tek Limited, a technology and innovation-driven company, is certified to ISO/IRIS/TS quality management systems.

The collaboration between RailTel and Quadrant Future Tek Limited signifies a significant step towards enhancing safety measures in the Indian Railways network and potentially in other countries as well.
