What are your plans for it? The Indian government has among its objectives: the upgrading of existing infrastructure, in terms of speed and, above all, safety in freight corridors and rail and metropolitan passenger transport, as well as the development of new conventional and HS lines and Stations. In this context, Italcertifer’s interest is directed towards the certification of the new Indian lines, both conventional and HS, and of the technologies based on the SIL 4 system.
