By TIOL News Service

NEW DELHI, APR 05, 2025: INDIAN Railways has taken a major step towards automation and efficiency in rolling stock maintenance by signing a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) for the procurement and installation of Automatic Wheel Profile Measurement Systems (AWPMS). The agreement was formalized today at Rail Bhawan, New Delhi.

AWPMS is an advanced system that allows for automatic, non-contact measurement of train wheel profiles, ensuring real-time assessment of wheel geometry and wear. Utilizing laser scanners and high-speed cameras, the system provides accurate and rapid measurements without manual intervention. In case of deviations, automated alerts will ensure timely corrective actions, enhancing both safety and operational efficiency.

The MoU signing ceremony was attended by senior officials, including:

- B.M. Agrawal, Member (Traction & Rolling Stock)

- S.K. Pankaj, Additional Member (Production Units)

- Ashish Sharma, Additional Member (Mechanical Engineering)

- Parmit Garg, Director (Business Development), DMRC

Under this partnership, DMRC will take responsibility for the procurement, supply, installation and commissioning of four AWPMS units for Indian Railways.

This collaboration marks a significant milestone in the modernization of Railway maintenance practices. By integrating cutting-edge technology, Indian Railways is enhancing its rolling stock management, reducing maintenance time and improving overall service efficiency. The partnership also promotes technology exchange and skill development between Indian Railways and DMRC, reinforcing their commitment to innovation, safety and operational excellence.
