Kernex Microsystems successfully commissioned its Kavach Version 4.0 system on the North Central Railway's 207 km Tundla-Panki Dham section, supporting speeds up to 130 kmph. The system also demonstrated 160 kmph capability over 175 route km. This enhances Kernex's position in India's railway safety system.
The commissioning of the Kavach system is a significant operational achievement and reinforces the company's capabilities in a key sector. While it strengthens their position, the direct financial impact is not quantified in the announcement, hence a medium impact.
The announcement details the successful commissioning of a significant railway safety system, highlighting increased speed capabilities and successful integration, which is positive for the company's technological achievements and market position.
Kernex Microsystems (India) Limited announced the successful commissioning of its indigenously developed Kavach Version 4.0 system on the 207 km Tundla-Panki Dham section of the North Central Railway. This upgrade supports train operations at speeds up to 130 kmph over the newly commissioned route.
With this deployment, the total Kavach Version 4.0 coverage in the North Central Railway has expanded to 652 route kilometres, with Kernex executing 572 route kilometres. Notably, the Kernex-built Kavach Version 4.0 system demonstrated its capability to support train operations at speeds up to 160 kmph over a 175 route kilometre section.
The commissioning involved successful trial runs with the Kanpur Shatabdi Express and Sikkim Mahananda Express, both equipped with the Kernex-built Kavach system. The project also achieved seamless integration with the Hitachi Electronic Interlocking System without any operational issues.
The project encompassed Kavach installations at 39 stations, commissioning of 10 W AP-7 locomotives, installation of over 4,600 RFID tags, construction of 17 communication towers, laying of 48-core optical fibre cable, and the establishment of 30 dedicated equipment rooms. The system underwent extensive testing and validation by the Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), North Central Railway, and Independent Safety Assessment (ISA) by Italcertifier, Italy, prior to commissioning.
This successful commissioning reinforces Kernex's technological capabilities and its role in the implementation of India's indigenous railway safety system.
