Concord Control Systems Secures ₹19.45 Cr Kavach 4.0 Order for Railway Safety

Concord Control Systems Limited (CNCRD), a leading manufacturer of embedded electronic systems and critical electronic solutions, has secured an order worth ₹19.45 crore for Kavach 4.0 through its associate company, Progota India Private Limited. The order marks a key step toward large-scale implementation of advanced railway safety systems in India.

With this milestone, Concord becomes one of the few railway companies with a fully developed Kavach solution ready for supply to Indian Railways. The company’s next-generation Kavach system has successfully cleared Indian Railways’ stringent approval process, including product approval and initial SiL4 third-party certification. About 70% of the rigorous SiL4 certification is complete, with the remaining stages set to align with upcoming trials.

“This field order is not just a validation of our engineering capabilities but also a stepping stone for scaling our Kavach deployment across the Indian Railways network. We are confident that our fully in-house developed system will set new benchmarks for safety, reliability, and self- reliance in railway technology.” said Nitin Jain, Joint Managing Director, Concord Control Systems Limited.

Progota has received design, development, supply, installation, trial and commissioning of On- board KAVACH equipment in locomotives and trackside KAVACH equipment of South Central Railway.

The product being fully developed in-house provides a substantial first-mover advantage in safety electronics for railways. By comparison, new entrants typically require approximately 3 to 5 years to reach this stage from scratch, underscoring company’s leadership in technology, compliance, and time-to-market.
