Here’s the officially approved codal life of LED signals (all-aspect types) under Signalling & Telecommunication Assets, as per Advance Correction Slip (ACS) No. 78, Railway Board, dated 28 August 2025:
Codal Life of LED Signals
| Type of LED Signal | Codal Life (in years) | Applicable Across Routes A to E |
|---|---|---|
| Pre-2025 specification | 6 years | Yes |
| Version 2025 or later | 8 years | Yes |
What This Means:
- LED signals installed before 2025 carry a codal life of 6 years.
- LED signals meeting the 2025 specification or newer have an extended lifespan of 8 years.
- Replacement is expected at or around this period unless asset condition—or obsolescence—indicates otherwise.
