The project also respects the priority of India in terms of infrastructure investments, that is to modernize the existing railway network and bring the performance of safety and speed to the maximum levels that the network can reach, even before designing and developing new networks.
This project further strengthens the technical collaboration between the FS Italiane Group and Indian Railways, in line with the commitments on a Memorandum of Understanding signed in January 2017, which includes the development of railway traffic safety systems, railway infrastructure and training of Indian security personnel.
