Indian Railways Expands Kavach Train Protection System on Key Routes
Indian Railways is expanding its Kavach Automatic Train Protection system to enhance safety on key routes. The system, now commissioned on the 69.5 km Karchna-Mirzapur section in Uttar Pradesh, helps prevent accidents by monitoring train speeds and signals, automatically applying brakes if needed. Meanwhile, Western Railway is nearing completion of RFID tag installation between Churchgate and Virar in Mumbai, supporting Kavach’s ability to track train locations and improve safety on busy suburban lines. These efforts aim to reduce collisions and signal violations across major corridors.
