Concord Wins First Kavach 4.0 Order for Indian Railways

Concord Control Systems (CNCRD), a leading Indian manufacturer of embedded electronic and critical electronic systems, has secured its first order for Kavach 4.0 through its associate company, Progota India. Valued at Rs 190.45 million, the order marks a major milestone in advancing large-scale deployment opportunities in railway safety.

With this achievement, Concord joins the select group of railway companies capable of supplying a fully developed Kavach system to Indian Railways. The company’s next-generation Kavach has already cleared multiple approval stages, including Indian Railways’ stringent product approval and initial SiL4 third-party certification, with around 70% of the certification process completed. The remaining stages are expected 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.

The order awarded to Progota India covers design, development, supply, installation, trials, and commissioning of onboard Kavach equipment in locomotives, along with trackside Kavach equipment for the South Central Railway.

By developing Kavach 4.0 entirely in-house, Concord has established a first-mover advantage in railway safety electronics—an achievement that typically takes new entrants three to five years to reach. This highlights the company’s leadership in technology, compliance, and time-to-market.

Concord Control Systems continues to strengthen its position as a pioneer in railway safety innovation, delivering advanced solutions that support the vision of a safer, modern, and self-reliant Indian Railways.
