Rail Vikas Nigam Limited (RVNL) has selected Provigil Surveillance Limited, a wholly owned subsidiary of Hyderabad-based IT services firm Magellanic Cloud Limited, for deploying video surveillance systems across Southern Railway stations in a contract worth approximately ₹85 crore.

The project covers 441 D & E category stations along with augmentation at 43 major stations (Categories A1, A, and B). The surveillance infrastructure will feature AI-enabled systems designed to enhance passenger security while maintaining cybersecurity compliance.

This contract adds to Provigil’s recent project wins, including a ₹32 crore Letter of Acceptance from National Highway Authorities of India (NHAI) and ₹2.25 crore from South Central Railway for AI-based video surveillance systems. The combined value of these projects totals ₹119.25 crore.

The Southern Railway project scope includes supply, installation and commissioning of high-definition IP CCTV cameras at stations and RPF (Railway Protection Force) and GRP (Government Railway Police). The company will also implement networking infrastructure and deploy Video Management Servers with AI-based video analytics and Face Recognition Software.

The surveillance upgrade aligns with Research Designs & Standards Organisation (RDSO) specifications and cybersecurity compliance standards. The system will provide real-time monitoring, anomaly detection and rapid incident response capabilities.

With the Railways and NHAI projects as milestones, we are confident of expanding our footprint into airports, metros, and smart city projects, positioning Magellanic Cloud as a trusted partner in building safer infrastructure for India and beyond, he added.
