BUSINESS

 

Indian Railways have well established  construction wings on their 9 zonal Railways.  Besides, Railway  electrification project units located at Ambala, Danapur (Patna), Bhubneshwar, Chennai, Ranchi, Surat, Vishakhapatnam and Lucknow are executing  optical fibre cable laying works.  Railways can, therefore, start building their broadband network straightaway by taking up works on various routes simultaneously giving priority to missing links for providing early interconnectivity of important cities/metros.  As and when of OFC link connecting important cities in completed, leasing of channels can  start to generate funds / revenue for expanding the  network, paying annual lease charges for ROW and reimburse part of cost of existing  OFC and microwave assets transferred to the corporation from first year itself.

 

The Government of India has already approved formation of a corporation under Ministry of Railways to undertake the above activities.

 

Mr. A. K. Chopra has been appointed as Officer on Special Duty, RailTel Corporation of India Limited.

 

M/s. McKinsey & Company have already been appointed to prepare business plan for the corporation.

 

Railways have a nation-wide ‘right of way’ along 62,800 route km of Railway track which passes through over 7,000 stations generally located in central areas of small, medium, large towns and metros.

 

Railway’s nation-wide network inter-connects every station, yard/terminal, divisional control office, level crossing gate, and emergency control points located all along the Railway track for train operation, safety, signaling and accident management systems.

 

Railways have their own extensive telecom network consisting of 20,000 route km of Microwave radio system, 12,000 route km of trunk cables, 3,000 route km of OFC and 43,500  km of over head line wires.  After DOT, only Railways own such an extensive nation-wide telecon network.  Besides above,  OFC works on 4268 route km are in advanced stage of execution.  Also, OFC works sanctioned on another 6656 route km during current financial year are being taken in hand.

 

 

RailTel has been set up primarily to exploit Railways' communication assets lying idle commercially. Railways have built a large telecom infrastructure over years for meeting their own communication requirement for train operation and safety.

 

RailTel will augment and modernise the existing infrastructure for providing communication facilities to Railways and for commercial purposes.

 

OBJECTIVES

 

 “To expeditiously modernise railways train control, operational and safety systems and networks.”

 

"To create a nationwide broadband telecom and multimedia network to supplement national telecom infrastructure to spur growth of telecom internet and IT enabled value added services in all parts of the country specially rural, remote and backward areas.”

 

“To significantly contribute to realisation of goals and objectives of National Telecom Policy, 1999” and

 

"To generate much needed revenues for implementing Railways’ development projects, safety enhancement and asset replacement programmes”.

HISTORY OF COMMUNICATION IN RAILWAYS

With a view to improve the communication network on Indian Railways for better train operations, the first Optic Fibre Cable system was commissioned on Indian Railways on 3rd of December, 1988 between Churchgate to Virar stations of Western Railway for a distance of 60 Kms. This was provided with imported Optic Fibre Cable and electronics.

Subsequently, the Optic Fibre Cables were provided as part of Railways Electrification for Bhusawal-Itarsi, Itarsi-Nagpur and Nagpur-Durg sections for a distance of 872 Kms. This was commissioned during 1990-91.

During 90's the next major network was provided in Konkan Railway for a distance of 920 Kms, which was commissioned during 1997-98.

It was during 1996, the Railway took a major policy decision to provide Optic Fibre Cables as a better and economical medium of communication instead of copper cable. It was decided that as a part of Railway Electrification, Optic Fibre Cables will be provided along with smaller size 4-quad copper cable. The 4-quad cable is mainly provided for providing block communication, emergency communication from sockets provided at every one kilometer by the side of the track and connecting level crossing gates, while other circuits for control & trunk telephones are on OFC.

RailTel Corporation of India Limited was formed on 26th of September, 2000 specifically with a view to provide Optic fibre Cables in the entire Indian Railways not only to meet with the Railways requirements but also to make commercial exploitation of the same.
