What is Railway O&M?

Railway Operations & Maintenance (O&M) refers to the comprehensive set of activities required to ensure the safe, reliable, and efficient functioning of a railway system.

Operations

Operations focus on the daily running of the railway, including:

• Train scheduling and movement control
• Station operations and passenger services
• Centralized control room and signaling
• Real-time communication and safety monitoring
   

Maintenance

Maintenance ensures the continuous health of all railway assets, such as:

• Track systems and overhead electrification (OHE)
• Rolling stock (trains, locomotives)
• Signaling, telecom, and power supply systems
• Civil infrastructure (bridges, platforms, tunnels, depots)
   

Importance of Operations & Maintenance

A well-executed O&M strategy ensures:

• Maximum passenger safety
• High system availability and reliability
