Alstom Opens Its Largest Digital Experience Centre For Developing Next-Gen Signalling Solutions In India

Alstom, a leading global player in smart and sustainable mobility, has launched India’s first Digital Experience Centre dedicated to the development of next-generation signalling solutions.

Located in Bangalore and spread over 5000 square feet, the Digital Experience Centre is set to emerge as a hub for executing Urban, Mainline, Freight & Mining (specific market) projects along with the integrated cybersecurity, security & telecom and SCADA (supervisory control and data acquisition) features.

The centre, spread over 60000 square feet and built at an estimated investment of €40 million, will be Alstom's largest signalling lab infrastructure in India. It will support over 7 million hours of engineering work for Indian and global projects.

The centre will leverage emerging technologies such as AI, Big Data, intelligent maintenance, LTE, and cybersecurity to create cutting-edge signalling systems. It will conduct simulations of world-class signalling technologies, including those developed for India’s first semi-high-speed regional train, NaMo Bharat.

Highlighting the importance of the initiative, Olivier Loison, Managing Director of Alstom India, said “The rail network in India is undergoing a rapid transformation, making it essential to develop advanced signalling solutions that enhance safety, efficiency, and passenger experience. With this centre, we aim to lead the charge in rail technology innovation.”

"In addition to our excellent manufacturing and engineering capabilities, we are proud to be leading the charter of rail technology innovation with the launch of this centre," he added.

Other highlights of the centre include

• Centralised demonstration of Operation Control Centre depicting all train movements in a project

• Remote system monitoring and troubleshooting

• Display of safety-critical hardware, trackside equipment, innovation booths, and interactive information on all signalling gears

• Complete end-to-end tests for projects and R&D software delivered from India.

• Mobile app enabled solutions.
