Rail Vikas Nigam Limited \u2013 KMRV (RVNL-KMRV) is spearheading the modernisation of Kolkata Metro\u2019s iconic North-South Line (NS Line \/ Blue Line). Notably, this line is India\u2019s first metro corridor.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

SYSTRA India has been appointed as the General Consultant (GC) and Systems Project Management Consultant (PMC) for the CBTC migration project. Moreover, our mandate includes a comprehensive technical study for upgrading the existing legacy signalling system to Communication-Based Train Control (CBTC). This upgrade will enable higher Grades of Automation (GoA). In addition, it includes the preparation of complete tender documentation for system implementation and integration.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This strategic assignment strengthens SYSTRA\u2019s leadership in signalling and train control upgrades. Consequently, it ensures the North-South Line evolves into a modern, high-capacity, automated metro system. At the same time, it minimises disruption to daily operations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
