Progota India secures a ₹53.73 crore KAVACH 4.0 order, strengthening India’s rail safety push.
Lucknow, February 28, 2026: Concord Control Systems (BSE: CNCRD) has announced that its associate firm, Progota India, has secured a ₹53.73 crore order from Indian Railways for the deployment of KAVACH 4.0, India’s indigenous automatic train protection system.
The order covers the supply, installation, testing and commissioning of onboard KAVACH 4.0 equipment, designed to prevent train collisions, over-speeding and signal passing at danger. The project is scheduled for execution within 12 months and aligns with the government’s Atmanirbhar Bharat vision to strengthen railway safety through indigenous technologies.
Commenting on the development, Gaurav Lath, Joint Managing Director of Concord Control Systems, said the mandate reflects strong confidence in the company’s technological depth and execution capability. He added that KAVACH 4.0 is a critical step toward building a safer and more reliable national rail network.
Echoing the sentiment, Nitin Jain, Joint Managing Director, noted that the order reinforces Concord’s position as a trusted partner in Indian Railways’ safety modernisation programme. He described the mandate as a platform to scale KAVACH deployment across the rail network, backed by fully in-house, future-ready technology.
The latest contract adds to Concord’s expanding KAVACH order book. In September 2025, the company secured a ₹19.45 crore field order from South Central Railway, marking its first major on-ground deployment and validating its in-house SIL4-certified technology. This was followed in early February 2026 by a significantly larger ₹185.09 crore contract for on-board locomotive equipment, also with a 12-month execution timeline through Progota.
With multiple RDSO approvals in place and a growing pipeline of orders, the ₹53.73 crore win further strengthens Concord Control Systems’s role in India’s nationwide KAVACH rollout, underscoring its commitment to modernising rail infrastructure and enhancing passenger safety at scale.
