Indian Railways is upgrading its security infrastructure, specifically for its LHB (Linke Hofmann Busch) coaches. RailTel has issued an “Advance Letter of Award” to Pace Digitek Limited to roll out a comprehensive, IP-based video surveillance system across the network.
The Scope of Work
This isn’t just a simple hardware delivery. Pace Digitek is responsible for the full lifecycle of the project—from supplying and installing the units to the final commissioning on behalf of RailTel’s customers.
Financials and Logistics
Contract Value: The project is valued at approximately Rs. 890.69 Million (including GST).
Timeline: It’s a fast-tracked deployment, with the entire system expected to be up and running within eight months of the award date.
Long-Term Maintenance
To keep the cameras rolling, the deal includes a solid support plan:
A 3-year initial warranty period.
A 5-year Comprehensive Annual Maintenance Contract (CAMC) to follow, ensuring the tech doesn’t fall into disrepair after the initial setup.
The Big Picture
By tapping into Pace Digitek for this domestic project, RailTel is continuing its push to modernize passenger safety with high-definition digital monitoring. Given the scale of the LHB coach fleet, this is a significant win for Pace Digitek’s portfolio in the government infrastructure sector.
