Western Railway Launches ‘SUGAMRAIL’ for Real-Time Monitoring of Lifts, Escalators and Earthing Pits

A centralized dashboard replaces manual registers with KPI‑driven alerts for faster repairs.

Overview

  • SUGAMRAIL now tracks more than 470 lifts and escalators along with about 21,500 earthing pits on a unified dashboard accessible to divisional and headquarters officials.
  • The platform provides real-time status with automatic alerts for failures, overdue inspections and repeated faults, guided by KPIs such as Mean Time Between Failures and Maintenance Compliance Rate.
  • It replaces depot-level manual registers to deliver round-the-clock visibility and detailed asset-wise failure analysis for data-driven maintenance.
  • Western Railway says faster attention to lift and escalator breakdowns will improve accessibility and safety for senior citizens, persons with disabilities and women traveling with children.
  • Structured digital monitoring of earthing resistance is intended to cut electrical hazards, and officials credit GM Vivek Kumar Gupta’s leadership as CPRO Vineet Abhishek announced the launch.
