15 Oct 2025 CW Team

Kavach 4.0 is India’s flagship rail safety technology, designed to prevent train collisions by automatically controlling speed and ensuring compliance with signal systems. The expanded partnership with Progota will enhance the supply chain, development capabilities, and operational readiness required to meet India’s ambitious rail modernization goals.

“This deepened partnership with Progota enables Concord to lead in delivering safer, smarter, and zero-emission rail transport solutions,” said Gaurav Lath, Joint Managing Director, Concord Control Systems Limited.

“With indigenously developed, SIL4-certified Kavach technology, we are aligning with one of India’s largest rail safety initiatives. This move strategically strengthens our foothold in the fast-growing ATP segment, which is projected to reach ?13–15 billion annually in India by FY26–28 and over $15 billion globally by 2025.”

Founded in 2021, Progota India specializes in advanced railway automation systems and is a key developer of Kavach-based technologies. The company's growing order book reflects increasing demand from Indian Railways across multiple zones.

This investment will combine Concord’s manufacturing and integration capabilities with Progota’s R&D expertise, accelerating the institutionalization and scalability of Kavach across India’s rail network. The partnership is expected to drive long-term shareholder value while expanding Concord’s role in train automation and digital signalling.

As part of its long-term modernization plans, Indian Railways aims to deploy Kavach across 10,000 locomotives and 34,000 route kilometers over the next six years—making it one of the largest ATP deployments globally.

This move also aligns with the Government of India’s ‘Atmanirbhar Bharat’ and ‘Make-in-India’ initiatives, positioning the Concord–Progota alliance as a key force in delivering homegrown safety technologies for India’s rapidly evolving rail infrastructure.

Concord Control Systems, a leading provider of embedded electronic and safety-critical systems for Indian Railways, has announced that its Board of Directors has approved an increase in its equity stake in Progota India to 46.5%. The investment reinforces Concord’s strategic focus on the commercialization and nationwide deployment of Kavach 4.0, India’s next-generation Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system.
