Railway Network is the backbone of the Indian transportation system, connecting remote villages and towns with metropolitan cities across the country. Recent government initiatives aim to revamp and modernize the entire network by 2030, and since the past few years have brought many changesin the rail system. From a technological perspective, we can expect two notable changes in Indian Railways, the introduction of electric and solar-powered trains and an increase in the operating speeds of trains from 100 km/h to 160–220 km/h. To support these plans, suitable modifications must be made to the existing infrastructure and components, such as the overhead equipment (OHE) including catenary and contact lines, as well as, pantograph assemblies.

Raychem RPG, a pioneer in innovative energy solutions for various sectors, has a dedicated R&D team working on products that can meet the challenging requirements of the evolving railway network. The team of researchers has improved the designs of 

Auto Tensioning Device-(ATD), 
Short Neutral Section-(SNS), 
Modular Cantilevers  System-(MCS) & 
Composite Insulators 

which are the most critical components of the railway's overhead equipment.
