# India’s rail network expands with SYSTRA

![India’s rail network expands with SYSTRA](https://www.systra.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/04/rvnl-pmc-gril-team-after-speed-trial-2.jpg)

These two new sections, which are intended for freight and passenger operations,
were designed to provide better links between the region’s logistics areas and
railway stations.

### Sections to promote multimodality

For these two projects, SYSTRA India has been working since 2018 for the public
company Rail Vikas Nigam Ltd (RVNL), which has been commissioned by the Indian
Ministry of Railways to build new infrastructure. These sections create new
low-carbon connections capable of reducing congestion on the road network and
improving the flow of people and goods.

SYSTRA India is involved in all phases of this PMC (Project Management
Consultancy) project, from the construction of the track, engineering
structures, catenary and telecommunication systems to commissioning, final
inspection and testing.

A particularity of the Indian market is that the gauge (1,676mm) of its tracks
is higher than the international standard (1,435mm). Called Broad-gauge (BG), it
is found mainly in India, Pakistan, and Bangladesh, but also in Argentina and
Chile… as well as on the BART network in San Francisco, which is being automated
with SYSTRA and which you can read about in our
