Need of Indian

Railways

Options

Solutions

• 100% electrified rail network in next two-three years

• 10,500 Crore annual savings after railway goes full electric

• > 30,000 kms to be electrified – project cost to be 30-35K Crores.

• Emphasis on Diesel

• Annual Savings to the tune of INR 10,500 crores envisaged

• Indian Railways could borrow from ADB or equivalent.

• Funds to be made available through LIC , IRFC and internal funding

• Turnkey contract from large EPC players - ongoing

• Larger contract size of 1500-2000 km

• Global players to bring in new methods, Design, mechanized

installation to increase the pace of electrification rapidly.

Sicat plattform

Contact line systems for every task – tailored based on requirements

> 230 km/h ‒ Sicat HA

DC ACRunning speedApart from economy, longevity and

consistently high quality are the key features

of the Sicat contact line systems.

They permit a high running quality, long

service live, low LCC and comply with both

national and international standards.

Siemens – with more than 138 years

experience electrical railways - is releasing

an adjusted OCL system for projects based

on Sicat plattform solution. Therefore all

requirements could be met (e.g. PAN,

environment, operational & RAMS

requirements, …).

What may be considered for fast track Rail

Electrification e.g. Modular Aluminum Cantilevers?


Mobility Division

Reasons to adopt….Modular Cantilever

❑ Less number of components, clear interfaces, faster installation & adjustments, lower maintenance

& high availability


Mobility Division

Example: Preassembling of low weight cantilevers with composite

insulators

Delivery (1) or preassembly by installation company (2) – customer’s choice

Preparing for transport, stacked, marked and sorted for easy

installationTransportation on site

What should be considered to optimize costs

and increase speed of existing lines?


Mobility Division

LCC Cost optimizations in Design, Implementation and

construction of OCL

Lever for Optimization (should be

possible within tender specification!)

⮚ Increase of Span Length

⮚ Increase of Tensioning Length

⮚ System optimization based on TPS network

studies

⮚ Innovative products and components

⮚ Adapt products which require minimum /

zero modification during further upgrade to

high speed

⮚ Digitalization

⮚ Installation plan & technology

IR preparedness for Mainline RE // Key concerns

- Funds are available and sanctioned.

- Availability of skilled manpower ?

- Availability of electric locomotives?

- Lack of capacity for production from approved RDSO/ CORE suppliers.

- EPC tenders don’t allow for design flexibility.

- No lever for Design optimization is provided.

- Timelines for execution is limited considering the powerbock activities , especially in hilly terrain.
