Indian Railways Approves Rs 226 Crore Electronic Interlocking Project for SECR
The project will replace the existing Panel Interlocking (PI) system with advanced Electronic Interlocking technology at Marauda, Risama, Gundardehi, Latabor, Balod, Kusumkasa, Dalli Rajhara, Gudum, Bhanupratappur, Keoti, Antagarh, Taroki and Raipur Store Depot.
The signalling upgrade is aimed at improving operational safety, system reliability and operational flexibility while supporting technology-driven train operations on this important railway section.
The project forms part of Indian Railways' ongoing modernisation programme to deploy advanced signalling systems across the network, enabling safer and more efficient train movement while enhancing the capacity and reliability of railway operations.
Electronic Interlocking is a state-of-the-art signalling technology that automates route setting and signalling functions while incorporating advanced safety features. The upgraded system will improve operational efficiency, reduce the possibility of signalling failures and enable faster restoration during disruptions.
The project will enhance the safety and reliability of train operations, improve punctuality and provide a stronger technological foundation for handling growing passenger and freight traffic on the South East Central Railway network.
The approval is part of Indian Railways' ongoing programme to modernise signalling systems across the national network through advanced technologies, ensuring safer, smarter and more efficient railway operations.
