L&T Infotech has won two important turnkey ERP projects for computerizing the maintenance of rolling assets of the Indian Railways. The projects have been won against stiff competition from major IT companies.
The end-to-end System Integration (SI) projects were conceptualized and tendered by the Centre for Railway Information System (CRIS), the IT arm of Indian Railways. Under these projects, L&T Infotech would be deploying the ERP software and the underlying hardware for automating the maintenance of the two major “bread-winner” rolling assets of the Indian Railways, namely, the wagon fleet which carries their freight traffic and diesel locomotives which haul their freight and passenger trains.
“We are happy to be associated with these two projects which are of critical importance to Indian Railways. These breakthrough System Integration projects reaffirm L&T Infotech’s position of preeminence when it comes to execution of large complex projects,” said Sudip Banerjee, CEO, L&T Infotech.
The execution of these projects will involve creation of two centralized ERP-based applications: the Freight Maintenance Management (FMM) for management of Freight/ Wagon Depots; and Loco-Shed Management System (LMS) for management of Diesel Locomotive sheds. In addition, a portal-based custom-built application module for providing specified functionalities to users at Headquarters; Divisions; Divisional and Headquarters Carriage & Wagons (C&W) controllers; Research, Design and Standards Organization (RDSO), Lucknow; and Railway Board will also be provided.
