NMDC and RailTel Corporation of India have entered into an agreement covering Information and Communications Technology (ICT) and Digital Transformation Services of the mining major, both at its corporate offices and mining complexes.
An MoU to this effect was signed by H Sundaram Prabhu, GM (C&IT), NMDC, and Manohar Raja, Executive Director, RailTel at NMDC’s headquarters in Hyderabad on Monday (10 October).
NMDC chairman and managing director Sumit Deb said that this partnership will focus on optimal utilisation of resources and build mineral accountability, paving the way for a robust digital transformation in the mining sector, according to a Steel Ministry statement.
As India’s leading miner, NMDC has been an early adopter of automation and digitalisation and its collaboration with RailTel will accelerate this journey, Deb said.
NMDC director (finance) Amitava Mukherjee said that RailTel will provide consultancy, project management and execution services that will enhance efficiency and transparency.
This MoU builds on the partnership that NMDC already has with the National Railway Telecom which has been providing MPLS VPN at 11 of NMDC’s locations, and Internet Leased Lines (ILL) at seven locations and High-Definition Video Conferencing solutions.
