In a significant boost to India’s railway digital infrastructure, Passenger Information Display Systems (PIDS) solutions provider MIC Electronics Limited has secured a new contract from Central Railway and expanded its ongoing engagement with Southern Railway.
This development reinforces MIC Electronics’ position as a key technology partner in modernizing passenger information systems and accelerating the deployment of PIDS across Indian Railways.
The company has been awarded a contract worth over ₹1.12 crore by the Nagpur Division of Central Railway for the supply, installation, testing, and commissioning of advanced telecom and Passenger Information Display Systems (PIDS) at Wardha station.
PIDS Project: Enhancing Real-Time Passenger Communication and Improving Overall Travel Experience Through Reliable and Accurate Information Systems
“With increasing focus on smart stations under initiatives like the Amrit Bharat Scheme, we see a significant opportunity to transform how passengers receive real-time information. Our solutions are designed to ensure accuracy, reliability, and seamless communication across stations,” said Rakshit Mathur, CEO, MIC Electronics Ltd. The statement underscores the growing importance of PIDS in enabling seamless passenger communication across railway networks.
In parallel, MIC Electronics is also executing a major project under Southern Railway’s Salem Division as part of the Government of India’s Amrit Bharat Station Scheme.
This initiative further strengthens the deployment of PIDS infrastructure across multiple stations, reinforcing the role of digital passenger information systems in railway modernization.
The scope of the Southern Railway project includes the deployment of integrated Passenger Information Display Systems across key stations including Tirupattur, Samalpatti, Morappur, Bommidi, and Salem.
Additionally, the project includes comprehensive annual maintenance support for five years, ensuring sustained performance and efficiency of the PIDS network.
As part of the latest approved variation, the Salem Division project value has been revised upward to approximately ₹6.76 crore. This increase reflects an expanded scope and additional system requirements driven by on-ground execution needs, further strengthening the scale and impact of PIDS deployment in the region.
These projects involve the deployment of advanced digital display boards, centralized data control systems, telecom infrastructure, and integrated announcement systems.
Together, these technologies form the backbone of PIDS, enabling seamless, real-time updates for passengers and aligning with Indian Railways’ vision of transforming stations into smart, passenger-friendly hubs.
With these developments, MIC Electronics continues to expand its footprint in railway modernization by leveraging its expertise in LED display technologies and intelligent communication systems.
The company’s growing portfolio of PIDS projects highlights its role in supporting India’s rapidly evolving transport infrastructure and enhancing the digital experience for railway passengers.
