Quadrant Future Tek Ltd enters into the of stage of Passenger field trials for KAVACH equipment for supply to Indian Railways

Quadrant Future Tek Limited ("Quadrant") has been actively engaged in design and development of Train Collision Avoidance System (KAVACH, now called as Indian Railways Automatic Train Protection ("IR-ATP") system) for Indian Railways. With focused execution by the Management and the Embedded Systems Design & Development Team, we are pleased to share that the Company has entered the final phase of securing the final RDSO Clearance for Kavach 4.0. field trials for its indigenously developed IR-ATP (Automatic Train Protection) system. The system successfully underwent the comprehensive multi-layered validation, including type testing, functional safety assessment, braking & performance validation, communication reliability, environmental endurance testing, SPAD protection, collision avoidance scenarios, brake interface validation, secure radio communication testing and full integration & interoperability checks. The validation framework incorporates CENELEC SIL-4 safety compliance. Successful completion of this phase shall pave the way for formal clearance and approval by Indian Railways.

Now, Quadrant has been allocated a dedicated rail route and train by Indian Railways for conducting the final phase of field trials. Upon successful completion of these trials, the ISA process is expected to conclude concurrently, followed by the issuance of final certification by Research Designs and Standards Organisation (RDSO), Indian Railways for the Company's IRATP system marking the final regulatory milestone prior to broader commercial rollout.

Quadrant's success to reach this level and develop such sophisticated and critical technology, integral to the transformation of operations of Indian Railways and designed to enhance passenger safety, while enabling higher speeds and infrastructure modernization, is a defining milestone for the Company and its shareholders. This reflects our sustained commitment, deep engineering capability and domain leadership in railways and technology domain. It validates our ability to deliver complex, high-reliability systems resulting in creating significant entry barriers and long-term competitive advantage for Quadrant.

With state-of-the-art production facility and a dedicated Embedded Systems Design and Development centre, Quadrant has established a strong presence in the railway signalling domain through consistent technological innovation. Quadrant will continue to focus on innovation, operational excellence and sustainable growth in other domains of signalling i.e. Electronic Interlocking System.
