Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about our Railway Signalling Cables, IRS standards, and trackside reliability.

Signalling cables are engineered to IRS specifications for reliability in trackside conditions resistant to vibration, moisture, and electromagnetic interference from traction current since a signal fault directly affects train safety.

Yes, they're designed for underground applications and are available in armoured or unarmoured PVC-insulated construction depending on route conditions.

70°C.

IRS S:63:2014 (Indian Railway Standard) specifying compliance with this standard is typically a mandatory requirement in Indian Railways signalling cable tenders.
