MIC Electronics has secured a Rs 10.49 million contract from South Central Railway’s Vijayawada Division to modernise passenger information systems at Annavaram (ANV) and Yelamanchili (YLM), two high-traffic stations on the Vijayawada–Visakhapatnam corridor. The upgrade aims to strengthen real-time communication for daily commuters through integrated digital solutions.The project will introduce synchronised LED train display boards, GPS-enabled digital clocks, automated audio announcements and GPS-based system integration. The stations, located along one of the busiest rail stretches in the region, consistently record significant passenger movement, making reliable information services critical.Officials said the implementation will be built on a fully IP-based architecture supported by optical fibre connectivity. The system will enable instantaneous updates and centralised monitoring, ensuring seamless coordination across platforms. The solution, manufactured domestically, includes platform and station controllers, public announcement system integration, enhanced network security provisions and energy-efficient display units.“MIC Electronics is proud to partner with South Central Railway to modernise passenger information systems at ANV and YLM stations,” said Rakshit Mathur, CEO, MIC Electronics.
