Concord Control bags first Kavach 4.0 order
The company has secured a ₹19.45 crore order for Kavach 4.0 through its associate company, Progota India Private Limited, according to an exchange filing. The deal marks the start of large-scale implementation opportunities in advanced railway safety, it added.
With this order, Concord Control becomes one of the few companies to have a fully developed Kavach system for supply to Indian Railways. The next-generation Kavach has cleared Indian Railways' stringent approval process, including product approval and initial SiL4 third-party certification, with about 70 per cent of the certification completed, the company said.
