Siemens Ltd, a global technology leader, has partnered and implemented state-of-the-art tunnel automation and digital technologies for the prestigious ‘Atal Tunnel’. Located at ‘Rohtang Pass’, it is one of the world’s longest and highest-altitude tunnels and was inaugurated by the Hon’ble Prime Minister, Shri Narendra Modi.

The tunnel will reduce the distance between Manali and Leh by 46 km. The tunnel is 9.02 km in length and is at an elevation of 3,100 meters (10,000 ft), making it the world’s longest at this altitude. The company's cutting-edge technologies increase operating performance and safety at such altitudes with climate temperatures from -15 to +20⁰ celsius. Siemens technologies provide electrification, automation, and digitalization solutions for local and remote monitoring, connectivity, lighting, ventilation, power distribution, and fire safety systems.

 “We would like to congratulate the Government on this achievement. Siemens is indeed proud to be associated with such a historic and high-technology project, which is not only essential to enhance the movement of people and goods across long distances but is also a critical security requirement. Siemens installed its latest technologies here to ensure that the electrical, ventilation and fire safety systems can be deployed and continuously monitored in a completely reliable and safe manner under the most challenging environmental conditions – a first-of-its-kind worldwide.” expressed Sunil Mathur, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Siemens Ltd.
