The joint bid submitted by SYSTRA was selected by the National High Speed Rail
Corporation (NHSRCL), a subsidiary of Indian Railways responsible for
implementation of
[high-speed rail projects](https://www.systra.com/en/markets/high-speed-rail/)
in India. We are going to prepare the technical specifications and tender
documents for the AFC (Automatic Fare Collection) and Reservation system for the
upcoming HSR linking Mumbai to Ahmedabad, based on the systems deployed or being
deployed around the world on similar projects. 

Once the solution has been determined, we will prepare an estimate of its
installation cost and support the NHSRCL in the tendering process.

SYSTRA’s skills and references were decisive in winning this tender, with the
technical score accounting for 80% of the decision. SYSTRA will work on the
project for a year. 

### SYSTRA accompanies India on the road to high-speed rail 

Since 2009, SYSTRA has been involved in the initiation of high-speed rail in
India, working with the Indian Ministry of Railways on a technical and financial
feasibility study for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad high-speed rail corridor and its
extension to Pune. We then mobilised in 2013 as a subconsultant to SNCF
International to refine the traffic forecasts, operating studies, and technical
design of the Mumbai-Ahmedabad corridor. India subsequently chose Japanese
Shinkansen technology for its first HSR corridor. 

Although the Mumbai-Ahmedabad HSR will be India’s first high-speed line, it is
not the only project of this type currently underway in the country: a total of
15 HSR corridors are envisaged by 2051, some of which are already in preparation
(Delhi-Ahmedabad, Delhi-Amritsar, and Pune-Nashik). Since 1989, SYSTRA has
worked on the development of the semi high speed Delhi-Agra-Kanpur rail link and
Delhi-Chandigarh-Amritsar line between 2014 and 2017.
