Siemens consortium wins Rs 4,100 crore contract for India's first high-speed rail project
In a major development for India's high-speed rail ambitions, a consortium comprising Dineshchandra R Agrawal Infracon Pvt. Ltd., Siemens Limited, and Siemens Mobility GmbH has secured a landmark contract from the National High Speed Rail Corporation Limited (NHSRCL). The total contract is valued at approximately ₹4,100 crore, with Siemens Limited's share amounting to ₹1,230 crore.
The consortium will design, install, and provide long-term maintenance for state-of-the-art signaling and telecommunications systems for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad High-Speed Rail Corridor — India's first bullet train project. The execution timeline is 54 months, with Siemens also responsible for maintenance services over a 15-year period, ensuring system reliability and performance.
Siemens will deploy the European Train Control System (ETCS) Level 2-based signaling technology, which supports train operations at speeds of up to 350 km/h. This advanced system offers real-time train supervision, continuous wireless communication, and centralized traffic control, aimed at boosting safety, efficiency, and operational excellence.
Sunil Mathur, Managing Director and CEO of Siemens Limited, said, 'As a consortium, we are proud to partner with NHSRCL in this prestigious high-speed rail project. This initiative reinforces our commitment to 'Make in India' and to delivering cutting-edge technologies that support sustainable, future-ready mobility solutions.'
ETCS Level 2 is a globally recognized standard in railway signaling and is already operational in more than 50 countries worldwide, offering proven performance and reliability in high-speed rail networks.

Bharat Forge signs MoU with France's Turgis Gaillard to offer AAROK MALE UAV to Indian defence
By Aman Shukla Published on June 17, 2025, 17:51 IST Bharat Forge Ltd., a key player in India's defence manufacturing sector, has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with French aerospace company Turgis Gaillard to jointly offer the AAROK UAV platform to the Indian Ministry of Defence. AAROK is a Medium Altitude Long Endurance (MALE) class unmanned aerial vehicle designed for surveillance and long-range operational capabilities. Developed by Turgis Gaillard, the UAV is intended to support intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) missions with extended flight endurance of over 24 hours and the ability to operate at high altitudes. The UAV is equipped with electromagnetic sensors and radar systems for real-time situational awareness while maintaining a stand-off position from potential threats. AAROK integrates with command and control systems, enabling it to relay tactical data and support coordinated military operations. A key feature of AAROK is its ability to carry a payload exceeding 1.5 tonnes, including precision weapons. This capability enables it to support multi-domain operations by striking targets beyond enemy lines, neutralising air defence systems, and disrupting adversary formations from a safe distance. Bharat Forge plans to set up a domestic production line for AAROK, aiming to meet Indian defence procurement requirements through local manufacturing. The move is aligned with India's emphasis on indigenisation and strategic autonomy in defence platforms, covering both manufacturing and lifecycle maintenance. The collaboration marks a step forward in Indo-French defence cooperation, offering a scalable UAV platform tailored to the operational needs of the Indian armed forces.
