Indra crece en Lituania en plena puja por un contrato de 500 millones

Indra, a Spanish technology company, is expanding its operations in the Baltic States, bolstered by a major 500 million euro contract to modernize Lithuania's railway system. The company, which entered the region in 2010, has a significant clientele base in Estonia, Latvia, and Lithuania, and has recently secured another key contract with LTG Infra, the Lithuanian railway authority, to upgrade their signaling and security technology.

This 5 million euro deal, among the largest for Indra in the Baltic States, highlights the company's growing role as a technological partner for the Lithuanian railway, as the Baltic States invest in modernizing their infrastructure for both civilian and military use. By 2025, Indra is expected to be named the top-performing company of the year in this sector, according to Jos� Miguel Rubio, the company's international director for railways.

Lithuania also plans to modernize all 160 of its stations and 2,000 kilometers of track, and Indra's TMS 3.0 technology introduces advanced automation capabilities, including real-time conflict detection and resolution, improved operational decision-making, and enhanced overall network efficiency. This cutting-edge system is a crucial component of Indra's Open Digital Signalling ecosystem, a comprehensive vision for the future of digital, cyber-secure, and future-proof railway operations.

The Spanish multinational, supported by the European Union's Sepi program, is focused on strengthening its presence in the region, particularly as a partner in the Rail Baltica project, the largest ongoing railway development in Europe. Indra is in the final stages of competing for the signaling and security technology contract for the Rail Baltica corridor, working in partnership with Czech company AD Praha, and competing against bids from Hitachi, Siemens, and Alstom.

The company is also closely monitoring the development of Lithuania, Latvia, and Estonia as they connect their conventional railways to the high-speed Rail Baltica network, with a particular focus on implementing Centralized Traffic Control (CTC) systems, which serve as the central hub for supervising and controlling railway traffic along a single line or multiple lines.
