3.8 Signalling and Telecommunication
Signalling & Telecommunication (S&T) domain is a core expertise
of providing signalling solutions for efficient and safe operation of trains on Indian
Railways. There has been a significant induction of modern technologies on Indian Railways
namely Electronic Interlocking (EI), Digital Axle Counters, Fibre Optic Cable Network
facilitating capacity building in the recent years.
The technology driven advancement is primarily aimed to achieve high
level of safety in train operations and increased speeds of trains with higher density of
traffic. This ensures the turnaround time of Freight Trains is minimal as well as punctual
operation of Coaching Trains is achieved. With continuous and tireless effort of S&T
team of RVNL in the area of Railway Infrastructure, Indian Railways is able to achieve
many milestones in the sector of freight loading and operation of large number of
passenger trains across the length and breadth of the country.
RVNL is a major contributor in providing EI installations on Indian
Railways in connection with most complicated projects of Doubling, 3rd Line, New Line and
Gauge Conversion. Keeping its tradition high, during FY 2022-23, RVNL has commissioned 93
Nos. of new EI/PIs installations on Indian Railways. Apart from new EIs; RVNL has
commissioned Alterations in 53 Nos. of Els/PIs installations on Indian Railways.
RVNL has also commissioned many Major Yards such as Yard remodelling of
Bhatinda RRI Station (717 signaling routes), Kota station (534 signaling routes), Garwha
Road station (336 signaling routes), Titlagarh (254 signaling routes), VKT station (249
signaling routes) , ANB station (192 routes) & PGU station (177 routes).
RVNL has taken up 146 Nos. of Non-Interlocking (NIs) of stations for
commissioning of Doubling & 3rd Line projects during the year. RVNL has also
commissioned the high numbers of 52 IBS/Auto signals and Interlocking of 46 Nos
mid-section level crossing gates. Not only on the Signalling front. RVNL has also
completed the incredible achievement in the area of telecommunication by providing 1350 km
of Fibre Optic Network and 6Quad Cable network during the year.
Railway Board had entrusted RVNL to approve Logic & Interface
Circuits on its own through 3rd Party IRSTELO license holders for CR, SCR, WR & WCR up
to 75 routes. RVNL has approved Logic & Interface Circuits of 104 stations. This has
reduced the workload of Zonal Railway's on document approval organization and well
expedited the approval process
of Logic & Interface Circuits thus had played a pivotal role in
commissioning of such a large number of stations by RVNL.
Signaling and Telecommunication vertical thus played a very vital role
in providing large nos. of signaling installations in connection with large infrastructure
projects on Indian Railways.
3.9 Projects under implementation:
There are 77 projects under various stages of implementation by RVNL.

3.11.2 First overseas project in Maldives
RVNL bagged the first offshore order for development of a port and
construction of allied infrastructure in Maldives, i.e. for development of UTF (Uthuru
Thila Falhu- Island) Harbour Project. This is a strategic project of Government of India.
The agreement was signed in January 2023.
The work has taken off well. As on date, RVNL has successfully
completed preliminary works like
topographic survey, bathymetric survey and coral mapping. Coral
shifting is in progress. The work for construction of column to be used for placing of
Geo-tube before start of dredging is in progress. The dredging work will also start very
soon.
3.12 Kolkata Metro Projects:
3.12.1 Indian Railways transferred the works of four major projects for
extension of Kolkata Metro to RVNL in March 2010 viz.
Joka-BBD Bag via Majerhat (16.72 km)
Dum Dum Airport-New Garia via Rajarhat (32 km)
Baranagar-Barrackpore & Dakshineswar (14.5 km)
Noapara (Ex.)-Baranagar (2.6 km)
3.12.2 Thereon RVNL was entrusted to build Metro corridors of about 65
km in Kolkata without any survey of underground utilities and without any DPR (Detailed
Project Report). DPR is a pre-requisite for planning of Metro corridors in urban areas.
RVNL first engaged RITES for preparation of DPR. Late arrival of metro extension work in
the congested and unplanned city was a challenge and required a lot of meticulous planning
for identification and removal of encroachments and other impediments to start
construction activity of Metro. The land acquisition in Kolkata/West Bengal poses a big
problem causing delayed construction of Metro corridors and other infrastructural
projects. The issues like removal of encroachments and relocation of utilities along with
traffic diversion have affected the execution. RVNL has taken all possible action for
implementation and early commissioning of Metro projects for larger interest of people of
Kolkata.
3.12.3 The foundation stone for Joka-BBD Bag project was laid by Her
Excellency, President of India on 22.01.2010. Subsequently, 2 packages for viaduct and 2
packages for stations were awarded in December 2010 and April 2012 respectively. This
entire Metro corridor has been planned in 2 phases i.e. in 1st phase from Joka to Majerhat
elevated section and in the 2nd phase from Mominpur to BBD Bag as underground section.
Originally sanctioned as elevated section but Material Modification is sanctioned by
Ministry of Railways for underground system from Mominpore to Esplanade. For construction
of Mominpur station, working permission from Army HQ has been received only on 20.03.2023.
Joka - Esplanade Metro Corridor
3.12.4 In the Metro corridor from Joka to Majerhat, from Joka to
Taratala (Phase-I) 6.50 Km has been commissioned after CRS inspection on 10.11.2022. This
Phase-I section has been dedicated to the public of Kolkata by Hon'ble Prime Minister
on 30.12.2022 and commercial services started by Metro Railway on 02.01.2023. The major
impediments were namely, Rehabilitation India building has been dismantled, and the long
pending permission from Mint was received from Ministry of Finance and the viaduct work on
that stretch is completed. The next phase of commissioning Taratala to Majerhat which will
integrate the Metro Railway with EMU service of Eastern Railway and will much facilitate
passengers
for their day to day transportation need. Earlier, due to collapse of
old ROB at Majerhat on 4th Sept 2018, the construction of Majerhat station came to a halt
as State Government did not give permission for the construction work. After the
commissioning of new ROB at Majerhat in Nov 2020, NOC has since been received from State
Government, and construction of Majerhat Metro station is now going in full swing, and is
expected to be completed before Puja during the current year 2023. For construction of MJT
station (MJT Yard) launching of steel girders have been done after obtaining sanction of
CRS/N.F. Circle. The station over yard is on three layers.
Beyond Majerhat, the Joka to Majerhat Metro Corridor is being extended
upto Esplanade going underground from Mominpore ramp. The GC- cum-PMC contract for the
underground section has been awarded and the tender for underground construction tender
for tunnelling by TBM is in advance stage of finalization and will be awarded shortly so
that the underground work can start in full swing. Working permission has accorded after
Hon'ble High Court/ Kolkata's clearance for execution in Defence land in the
Maidan area for the public interest of Kolkata. The NOC from Victoria Memorial Trust has
been received recently to go ahead with underground station near Victoria Memorial.
Since this Metro stretch is a standalone system, a Maintenance Depot
has been developed in Joka and Ph-I part is under operation. Earlier, due to
nonavailability of land (24.48 hectare), the tender for the depot was discharged twice,
once in February 2013 and again on October 2017. Thus, the commissioning is planned in 3
phases i.e (a)Ph-I-Joka-Taratala, (b)Ph- II-Taratala-Majerhat, (c) Ph-III-
Majerhat-Esplanade. The Commissioning of 1st phase is done on 30.12.2022. The 2nd phase
uptoMajerhat is expected to be commissioned before Puja. After the 1st phase commissioning
the outskirt population of Kolkata has been connected to Kolkata which is a great relief
for the people residing away from Kolkata but normally come to Kolkata on daily basis
doing a tough journey every day.
New Garia-Airport Metro Corridor
3.12.5. In the section of New Garia to Rabindra Tirtha of Dum Dum
Airport-New Garia project, initially 4 packages of Viaduct were awarded on 21.10.2011.
About 18 km viaduct has been completed. The contracts for 21 stations (3 packages) were
awarded on 05.03.2014. Out of 21 stations, station land for Technopolis Metro station is
now handed over. The project got delayed because of issues relating to land acquisition,
traffic diversion, utility diversion and other permission over busy EM Bypass road.
Further, change of alignment proposed by State Government where unauthorized buildings
were constructed even after the Gazette Notification for
Metro construction, and other impediments like shifting of markets,
traffic guard, raising of 220 KV overhead line, removal of encroachments, etc. slowed down
the progress of work. Substantial part of these impediments have been either removed and
the balance are on the way of being removed. The alignment from City Centre-II to Airport
is now approved by State Government after long persuasion and contract for construction of
Metro beyond Titumir to Airport has been awarded on 18.01.2021, The work is under
progress. In this section the commissioning is planned in 3 phases i.e (a)Ph-I-New
Garia-Hemanta Mukhopadhyay, (b)Ph-II-Hemanta Mukhopadhyay to Salt Lake Sector-V and (c)
Ph-III- Salt Lake Sector-V to Airport. The commissioning of 1st phase is awaited for which
CRS inspection has been conducted on 30.01.2023 and authorization received on 07.02.2023.
The next phase of commissioning has been modified for commissioning from Hemanta
Mukhopadhyay to Beliaghata by Dec. 2023 due to NOC pending at few locations beyond
Beliaghata to Sector-V.
Noapara - Baranagar - Dakshineswar Metro
3.12.6 For Baranagar-Barrackpore & Dakshineswar and
Noapara-Baranagar, the work was planned in 2 phases i.e. the first phase being Noapara-
Baranagar-Dakshineswar and in the second phase, from Baranagar-Barrackpore. The first
phase, i.e. from Noapara to Dakshineswar, the Metro corridor has been inaugurated and
dedicated to the Nation by Hon'ble Prime Minister on 22.02.2021 for public use. For
the second phase of this Metro corridor, i.e.Baranagar-Barrackpore, an MoU was signed
between State Government, Metro Railway and RVNL in October 2011 where it was decided that
RVNL shall commence the work of Metro viaduct construction on BT Road after commissioning
of 64" pipeline under the BT Road with the closure of 60" and 42" diameter
pipelines. The work of new pipeline has been commissioned but RVNL has not been able to
start the work due to noncompliance of provisions of tripartite MoU by the State
Government. State Government in their letter of 03.05.2018 had proposed for change of
alignment i.e. through Kalyani Expressway. Ministry of Railways (CRB) had responded this
proposal by writing to Chief Secretary, GoWB that under such a situation, it will become a
new project requiring fresh sanction. RVNL, on its part, had requested State Government
vide letter dated 19.11.2018 to lay a new pipeline through another
alignment for which RVNL would bear the cost. Vide letter dated 05.05.2022, State Govt.
asked for an additional pipeline of 90" dia at project cost in lieu of closing
60" ,48", 42" pipe lines on BT Road. Work on this phase of the Metro
corridor could not be initiated due to above account. After discussion with State Govt.
Technical Consultant has been engaged by RVNL for finalizing the proposal for Metro
construction by shifting 48'' pipeline in phases so that three metro stations
can be completed from Baranagar-end in 1st phase.
3.12.7 Phase Commissioning of Metro Project:
(i) Noarpara - Baranagar - Dakshineswar: The
project has been inaugurated by Hon'ble PM on 22.02.2021 and
Commercial Operation of train service started w.e.f. 23.02.2021.
(ii) Joka-Taratala: 9.0 km of continuous stretch
from Joka Depot has been completed. Major structures and stations have
been completed at Joka, Thakurpukur, Shaker Bazar, Behala Chowrasta, Behala Bazaar,
Taratala. The first phase i.e. Joka to Taratala of Joka-Esplanade Section has been
inaugurated by Hon'ble Prime Minister on 30.12.2022 and commissioned on the same day.
(iii) New Garia-Hemanta Mukhopadhyay in New Garia-Airport corridor: 1st
phase is awaited for commissioning and CRS inspection has been conducted on 30.01.2023,
authorization received on 07.02.2023. The next phase of commissioning will be from Hemanta
Mukhopadhyay to Beliaghata by Dec'2023.
Accidents
During 2022-23, no accident was reported from any of the project sites
of RVNL.
3.13 ADB funded projects:
The first ADB loan (IND-1981) sanctioned for "Railway Sector
Improvement" was closed on 31.12.2011. A 2nd ADB Loan has been sanctioned for funding
of 5 projects, namely:
Raipur-Titlagarh doubling
Sambalpur-Titlagarh doubling
Hospet-Tinaighat doubling
Daund-Gulbarga doubling
Pune-Guntakal Railway Electrification
The funding by ADB requires compliance of various loan covenants on
resettlement and rehabilitation of project affected persons, procurement of works and
stores following international competitive bidding and implementation of plans for
mitigation of social and environmental impact norms. A Multi Tranche Financing Facility of
$ 500 million has been agreed to by ADB. The loan agreement for first Tranche (Loan No.
2793-IN D) of this MFF for an amount of $ 150 million was signed in July 2012 and the loan
agreement for second Tranche (Loan No. 3108-IND) of this MFF for an amount of $ 130
million was signed in February 2014, the loan was closed on 20.12.2019 Project Agreement
& Loan Agreement against ADB loan No. 3623-IND (Railway Sector Investment Program-
Tranche III) for an amount of $ 130 million have been signed on 16.3.2018 and made
effective on 07.06.2018. The loan was fully disbursed on 29 October 2021 and the loan
account was closed effective on 2 December 2021.
3.14 Contracting:
As the size of projects being executed by RVNL is quite large, to
ensure fast award and execution of projects, RVNL invites tenders consisting of multiple
packages. Each tender may consist of up to 3 contract packages. This approach has a number
of advantages such as:
a) Multiple contracts can be awarded through one tender which saves
time and effort in invitation and finalization of tenders.
b) Both small and large agencies can compete for any contract package
which increases competition.
c) Large agencies who are capable of executing big contracts can quote
for multiple packages to achieve economy of scale and pass on the benefit to RVNL by
quoting discounts in case of award of more than one package.
d) Smaller agencies, which would not be eligible to quote if the tender
for the project was floated in a single package, are now able to compete in any of the
contract packages individually as they may meet the qualification requirements of
individual packages which are of comparatively smaller value.
During 2022-23, contracts worth approximately
Rs. 3885.18 crore were awarded.

through in-house and customised training programmes to the employees at different levels
not only relevant to their working area but also to enhance their overall capabilities so
that the employees are able to adapt to the changing technology and customer needs and
discharge their roles as a strategic business partner contributing in the growth of the
organisation.

meritorious employees through individual/group Awards and by presenting shields and cash
awards every year on the Annual Day function.

examinations by the Central Vigilance Commission were undertaken. Besides, comments
against pending paras of CTE checks conducted in earlier years were also sent to the

System Improvements:
Based on the observations during various inspections/checks, RVNL
Vigilance makes certain recommendations for system improvements. During the FY2022-23,
following system improvements were suggested by RVNL Vigilance to the Management for
implementation: -
1. System Improvement suggested: - RVNL corporate office has
issued a policy letter dated 23.07.2019 with regard to borrowing of materials from the
PIUs/Railways. The letter, however, contains detailed provision with respect to taking of
material on loan from other PIUs and doesn't give any details/procedure to be
followed for taking material on loan from the Railways. The policy regarding disposal of
surplus material dated 20.07.2016 (procedure order for management of projects material
including disposal of surplus material), however, gives procedure for transfer of excess
material to railways in details.Detailed provisions including the procedure to be followed
by the PlUs should be made with respect to taking of material on loan from the Railways in
case of exigency. Reconciliation of all such material may be done periodically (time
period to be satisfied) within in the PIU and also with the concerned Zonal Railway.
Status regarding implementation of system improvement suggested: - System
improvement issued by ED/Planning through letter No. ED/Genl/117 dated 24.03.2023
2. System Improvement suggested:- Attention is drawn to
CVC's OM dated 25.11.2021, where in "RVNL is advised to explore the possibility
of implementing/extending the policy of rotation of officials in the headquarters as well
in the filed units in a transparent manner".ln above regard, HR is requested to
kindly take necessary action and provide action taken report to this department at the
earliest, for further transmission to Central Vigilance Commission.
Status regarding implementation of system improvement suggested: - Matter
under consideration by HR/CO/RVNL.
3. System Improvement suggested:- During investigation of a
Complaint related to alleged irregularities in "RE Works between Rani to
Palanpur", Ahmedabad PIU of RVNL has furnished that imposition of penalty of Rs. 1.61
Cr. approx. on M/s NMTPL for non-deployment of key personnel's as per contract as
proposed by PMC is yet to be recovered due to final decision pending at RVNL HQ.Further,
from the reply of PIU, it has emerged that due to communication gap between PMC and M/s
KEC relating to MRC of incoming material and pressure of commissioning, erection of steel
was done prior to issue of MRC and there is no penal clause envisaged in the contract for
this lapse since the steel used for erection was RITES inspected and only left out for
MRC.
To avoid recurrence of such lapses in other cases in future, following
system improvement is recommended for implementation:
(i) Decision on penalty from contractor's bill as proposed by PMC
should be given in a time-bound manner without keeping the issue in limbo for an
indefinite period (at Corporate Office as well as at PIU) to avoid manipulation at later
stage.
(ii) Proper procedure order to be issued regarding "Inspection,
MRC and Erection of steel/other materials" to avoid erection of material without
inspection/MRC. Moreover, appropriate penal clause must be incorporated in the tender for
fixing accountability on both executing agency as well as on PMC for lapses such as
erection of steel without MRC.
Necessary guidelines in this regard may kindly be issued under
intimation to this office.
Status regarding implementation of system improvement suggested: - System
improvement issued by PED/Elect/RVNL through letter No. 2005/Elect/Vigilance/40 dated
29.03.2023.
4. System Improvement suggested:- During investigation of a
complaint related to alleged irregularities in awarding of a contract through SLT to a
firm vide LOA no. 2019/RVNL/RE/MAA-
ABR/SLT Dated 09.10.2019 under "RE Works between Rani to
Palanpur" by Ahmedabad PIU of RVNL, following points have been observed:
(i) It has emerged that too much time has been taken for initiation and
finalization of SLT Tender, which defeats the very purpose of inviting SLT instead Open
Tender.
(ii) There was an issue of recovery of penalty from firm for which
decision was pending at Corporate Office for significant time.
(iii) The firm which was awarded work through SLT on the basis of
shortlisting, could not complete the entire work in prescribed time period and time
extension with penalty had to be given for completing the work
In view of above, following system improvement is recommended for
implementation:
(i) If a firm awarded contract through SLT doses not complete the
entire work in the prescribed time period and time extension is granted with and/or firm
defaults on deployment of key-personnel as per contract condition, then such instances
must be reflected in the performance certificate of the firm and this must be given due
Weightage while short listing same firm for another work in future.
(ii) SLT tenders should not be called as a routine rather decision
should be taken to invite the SLT tender with due diligence taking all factor in
consideration.
(iii) Decision regarding recovery of penalty should be done with utmost
priority following due procedures to avoid any dispute on later date.
Necessary guidelines in this regard may kindly be issued under
intimation to this office.
Status regarding implementation of system improvement suggested: - System
improvement issued by ED/Planning through letter No. ED/Genl/7 dated 22.12.2022.
5. System Improvement suggested:- In a matter under
investigation in RVNL Vigilance Department, it is revealed that the details of test check
done by the PMC/RVNL Official(s)/officer(s) are not properly recorded. It is necessary
that all the test check records needs to be carefully recorded with date/ time with all
requisite details for future reference. Therefore, it is advised that necessary
instructions in this regard be issued to all concerned accordingly.
Apart from above, it is also suggested that Chief Project Managers of
all Project Implementation Units (PIUs) should also create a regular systematic procedure
to capture and retain soft copy of photographs with date of all the progressive work
executed at site as a record for future reference.
Status regarding implementation of system improvement suggested: - System
improvement issued by ED/Planning through letter No. C/RVNL/065/2019 (loose) dated
22.11.2022
6. System Improvement suggested:- In a matter under
investigation in RVNL Vigilance Department, it is revealed that "Procedure Order for
Measurements and Payments" issued by RVNL Corporate Office is not appropriately
adhered in Project Implementation Unit(s).In the Procedure Order, level of
officers/officials of PMC and RVNL specifically mentioned for Recording of measurement,
Test Check of measurement and Spot Test Check by RVNL employees. However, it is observed
that the officers/officials below the specified rank are performing recording, Test Check
and Spot Check, which is in contradiction to "Procedure Order for Measurements and
Payments"issued by RVNL Corporate Office. Therefore, all Project Implementation Units
may be directed to strictly follow "Procedure Order for Measurements and
Payments" and related instructions issued by Corporate Office time to time, without
fail.
Status regarding implementation of system improvement suggested: - System
improvement issued by ED/Planning through letter No. ED/Genl/109 dated 29.11.2022.
7. System Improvement suggested:- During investigation of a
Complaint, the issue of discharge of Obligation as Principal Employer towards Royalty in
Construction Contracts of RVNL was surfaced and discussed in detail. Careful observation
of the policy guidelines issued by office of ED/Planning/RVNL vide letter no. ED-Genl/20
dated 30.05.2021 and letter no. ED-Genl/22 dated 16.06.2021 reveals that at present there
is no means to safeguard the interest of RVNL as Principal Employer in case a demand for
payment of royalty charges from Revenue Department is received after the release of
performance security to the contractor.In view of this, as a measure of system
improvement, it was suggested that following may also be incorporated in the instructions
issued vide letter no. ED-Gen/20 dated 30.05.2021 & ED-Genl/22 dated 16.06.2021:
"Before releasing of performance security, concerned Revenue Authority should be
approached by the PIU to give NOC' towards royalty charges for the said work
within given time limit (say one month). Performance security may be released after either
getting NOC' from Revenue Department or deduction/deposition of royalty charges
intimated by Revenue Department or lapse of time limit as the case may be."
Status regarding implementation of system improvement suggested: - Matter
under consideration by ED/Planning/CO/RVNL.
8. System Improvement suggested:- During investigation of a
Complaint by vigilance, Daily Progress Report (DPR) of a project being executed by one of
the PIU of RVNL was gone through and same was not found in order.In view of this, as a
measure of system improvement, it was suggested that appropriate procedure order for
maintaining Daily Progress Report (DPR) on work site by Contractor, PMC/PIU (RVNL) be
issued by Corporate Office.
Status regarding implementation of system improvement suggested: - Matter
under consideration by ED/Planning/CO/RVNL
9. System Improvement suggested:- During an investigation
related to joint surprise check by CBI & Vigilance on one of the projects, it was
observed that one of the RVNL's contractor borrowed material from Railway without
bringing it to the knowledge of PIU and claimed payment for supply of such borrowed
material. In this regard, system improvement was suggested for implementation as mentioned
below:
RVNL corporate office has issued a policy letter dictate
23.07.2019 with regard to borrowing of materials from the PI Us/ Railways. The letter,
however, contains detailed provision with respect to taking of material on loan from other
PIUs and doesn't give any details/procedure to be followed for taking material on
loan from the Railways. The policy regarding disposal of surplus material dated 20.07.2016
(Procedure order for Management of Projects Materials including Disposal of Surplus
Materials), however, gives procedure for transfer of excess materials to railways in
details. Detailed provisions including the procedure to be followed by the PIUs should be
made with respect to taking of material on loan from the Railways in case of exigency.
Reconciliation of all such material may be done periodically
(time period to be specified) within the PIU and also with the concerned Zonal Railway.
Status regarding implementation of system improvement suggested: - System
improvement issued by ED/Planning through letter No. ED/Genl/117 dated 24.03.2023.
