Hitachi Rail: moving the mobility needle

Giving a boost to green tech, Hitachi Rail has been actively partnering with the Government of India in some of the country’s evolutionary infrastructure projects. One such project is the Western Dedicated Freight Corridor (WDFC). Hitachi is executing two projects for WDFC. One is complete signalling and telecommunication system for the 915 km (Rewari-Haryana to Vadodara (Gujarat) line involving 31 stations, and the other is the installation of a train protection and warning system for 1337 km (Rewari-Haryana to JNPT-Mumbai) Maharashtra line involving 43 stations.

One notable achievement has been the recognition of safety approval for Hitachi’s Electronic Interlocking System which should pave the way for wider use of this technology within Indian Railways. Hitachi has successfully developed the Trackside System configuration design suiting WDFC conditions and deployed the initial section of WDFC, duly performing the type tests in Japan. The railway track is designed to run freight trains with double-stack containers at speeds up to 100 kmph with hauling capacity up to 15000 tonnes. The project, when completed is expected to substantially improve the freight movement capacity of Indian Railways and decongest the lines that currently share freight and passenger traffic. There is no doubt that DFCCIL will play a significant role in India’s growth in the years to come.
