'Railways’ contract system needs overhaul'
'Railways’ contract system needs overhaul'
The contract system of the Indian Railways needs an overhaul coupled with the need for greater transparency from the industry, top Railway Board officials said on Tuesday.
“The present contract system of IR functioning need to be reviewed to see whether they can still serve the purpose and deliver. But what is also required is full transparency from the industry,” said S. Mookerjee, Financial Commisioner, Railway Board at an event organised by Confederation of Indian Industry (CII) here.
He said the Indian Railways spends about Rs 1 lakh crore annually towards contractual payments related to work and supply contracts covering both revenue maintenance and construction projects. Mr. Mookerjee suggested that the onus of quality control could be with the contractor with “deterrent” penalty provision for “substandard work.”
In its report, the CII said vendors face challenge in dealing with the Indian Railways as the “adoption of contractual conditions has not kept pace with the changes taking place in large contracts.”

Alstom to further maintain Class 180 trains in the UK
Alstom to further maintain Class 180 trains in the UK
Alstom has been chosen to provide maintenance support for the Class 180 trains operated by Grand Central Railway Company Limited for the next ten years, from January 2017 until December 2026, for around €100 million[1].
Alstom will provide Grand Central with the specialised materials, parts, technical and engineering support needed to maintain its fleet of ten Class 180s. The support team for the fleet will be based initially at Alstom’s Chester Traincare Centre and will then co-locate with the Grand Central fleet operations team at its East Coast mainline maintenance location later in 2018.
“We’re delighted to be extending our contract with Grand Central and even happier that our support for the Class 180 trains is set to continue. It’s important that they are well maintained so that passengers can continue to enjoy the benefits the trains offer. That is why we’ve extended our commitment and look forward to doing so for the foreseeable future,” said Nick Crossfield, Managing Director at Alstom in UK & Ireland.
Grand Central Railway currently operates five Class 180 trains between London Kings Cross and Yorkshire and the North East but in 2017 will expand its fleet to ten trains. The Class 180 fleet was first built by Alstom at Washwood Heath in Birmingham between 2000 and 2001.
Part of Alstom’s Coradia range, the Class 180 is one of the few diesel multiple-unit trains that can reach speeds of up to 200 kilometres per hour.

Indian Railways gets set to cut Fuel Cost – introduce Vendor-managed Depots, review Electricity Contracts
Indian Railways gets set to cut Fuel Cost – introduce Vendor-managed Depots, review Electricity Contracts
New Delhi: To control fuel costs, the Railways plans to have vendor-managed fuelling depots for high-speed diesel and is also reviewing contracts with the electricity authorities to lower peak demand.
“We are going to have vendor-managed railway fuel depots. Till now, the depots were being manned by us, which added to our staff cost. We hold the inventory and pay in advance. Now, this is going to be changed. The pilot project is on in Jaipur and is being undertaken by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited,” Sanjoy Mookerjee, Financial Commissioner, Railway Board, told.
To save costs of high-speed diesel, the Railways is also improving the driving skills of its locomotive pilots to improve fuel consumption.
“To control storage capacity, we are now making ‘just in time’ kind of inventory so that the cost of storage reduces substantially,” added Mookerjee.
Electricity consumption
On electricity consumption, the Railways is reviewing its contracts with the electricity authorities to reduce the assured amount that it pays, keeping in mind the operations of each sector.
“Earlier, we used to pay for peak load, even if we were not using it. Otherwise, we had to pay a huge penalty. That is now going to be reviewed on a real-time basis, based on the loading of each section. That should give us a substantial reduction in peak load payments. Depending on the time table every year, we need to reorient the peak load and bring it down,” said Mookerjee, adding that this process will save funds.
For instance, if the peak load drawn by trains in certain sections was 100 MW, we found the average usage was 50-60 MW. The Railways also gets rebates of 1-2 per cent on making electronic payments, as some electricity authorities provide such rebates.
To save on electricity costs used for running trains, the Railways already has a deemed licence.
“We are getting rates which are almost half of what we were getting earlier. Reliance Power (ADAG) has given us a rate of ₹3-4/unit for North Central Railway, whereas we are paying more than ₹6/unit. The Ratnagiri power – a GAIL and NTPC joint venture — for which we have now contracted will help us save ₹300 crore this year.

Contracts with foreign firms to have 'national security clause'
Contracts with foreign firms to have 'national security clause'
NEW DELHI: Foreign telcos and defence firms looking to invest in India will have to include a 'national security clause' in their contracts, providing for termination of the venture if they are found indulging in any anti-national activity at the post-investment stage.
"While doing away with country-specific barriers to investment in furtherance of the government's 'Make in India' thrust, the new security clearance policy proposes post-investment safeguards for FDI coming through the FIPB route in 'sensitive' sectors like defence, telecom and private security firms. The 'national security clause' in the FDI agreement can be invoked at the post-investment stage to serve a termination notice to the investor if an adverse, anti-national activity including money laundering, espionage, terror financing or links with terror outfits or foreign intelligence agencies is noticed," a senior home ministry officer told TOI.
TOI was the first to report on May 22 on the home ministry's move to have a national security clause built into FDI contracts to be approved by Foreign Investment Promotion Board (FIPB).
The new guidelines on security clearance for FDI proposals in sensitive sectors will require foreign firms to employ Indians in key technical positions like network operators. This will minimize the risk of embedding of spyware/malware in the network equipment used by such firms. Also, testing of equipment both at the initial and post-investment stage is proposed to rule out any malware or spyware. DoT has indicated that it will have the requisite testing infrastructure in place in a year.
Importantly, while proposing no country-specific barriers, the policy has listed Pakistan as a "country of concern" from which investment is to be discouraged. Even foreign staffers who have served in Pakistan in the past will need to undergo special security vetting before taking up an assignment in India.
As part of the new guidelines on security clearances for domestic and FDI proposals, which seek to cut the processing time from the current 3-4 months to 4-6 weeks, the promoter or bidder can make a self-declaration on the criminal cases, if any, against them. While the self-declaration would suffice as regards petty criminal cases, the guidelines require the intelligence agencies to report any adverse inputs on parameters such as money laundering, terror financing, links with terrorist outfits or foreign intelligence agencies, major financial frauds etc.

Chennai Metro Rail Sub-contractors file complaint against Russian firm ‘Mosmetrostroy’
Chennai Metro Rail Sub-contractors file complaint against Russian firm ‘Mosmetrostroy’
Chennai (MAS): Russian-based firm Mosmetrostroy, one of the key contractors of Chennai Metro Rail (Mosmetrostroy India is a joint venture of Gammon India Limited and OJSC Mosmetrostroy of Russia) has allegedly failed to pay its 64 subcontractors nearly Rs. 26 crore and left the project work, claims Chennai Vendors Association. The members protested outside Russian Consulate here on Tuesday and claimed to have met the officials.
R.Mathiazhagan, Vice-President of the association, claimed that they had met Consul-General Sergey L.Kotov and briefed him about the issue. “Sometime back, we met the officials of Chennai Metro Rail Limited (CMRL) who said they would return this amount on the condition that Mosmetrostroy gives an authorisation for the same.” However, a source at the Russian Consulate said no representation had been made.
Gammon India in a joint venture with Mosmetrostroy was awarded a contract of Rs. 1,947 crore by CMRL for construction of seven underground stations from Government Estate to Saidapet.
S. Murugan, a contractor who supplied water to the company, said: “I have been supplying water for over a year now; the problem with regard to payment has been going on only for the last two months. Before that, there was no issue at all. Now, they have to pay me Rs.20 lakh.”
Earlier, a team of sub-contractors met Chennai police commissioner S George on 30th April, and lodged a complaint against Mosmetro India Limited which was involved in the execution of the Chennai Metrol Rail project. The sub-contractors alleged that the company had failed to pay dues, amounting to more than Rs 20 crore, to them. Fourteen of the total 40 sub-contractors met the police commissioner and submitted separate complaints against the company.
They claimed that they had supplied all the construction materials for the last two years. Though Mosmetro India had encashed the bills, it allegedly didn’t pay dues to the sub-contractors. A sub-contractor said they approached the police as the two officials of Mosmetro had suddenly disappeared from its office. Other employees at the company’s office in Chennai told the contractors that the duo left for Russia on Tuesday. “CMRL officials told us that they cleared the company’s bills amounting to Rs 19 crore on Saturday,” he said.
