Logistics India to equip new high-speed rail corridors with indigenous Bharat Train Control System signalling
Indian Railways is developing the Bharat Train Control System (BTCS), an indigenous open-source signalling protocol, for nearly 7,000 km of planned high-speed rail corridors across India. The system follows the made-in-India decision for the Mumbai-Ahmedabad bullet train and could be exported to other countries once developed. Approvals for future corridor designs are expected by mid-2027, while Japan has been told offers for a switchover to its protocols need to come first.
