Indian Railways Commissions KAVACH 4.0 Safety System on South Central and Central Railways
Indian Railways has successfully commissioned the latest KAVACH 4.0 Automatic Train Protection system on South Central Railway, covering 108 route kilometres between Malkajgiri and Kamareddi. This upgrade from Version 3.2 incorporates technological improvements such as enhanced location accuracy, better signal aspect displays, and optical fibre connectivity for improved communication and integration with signalling systems. Separately, Central Railway's Solapur Division conducted the first Independent Safety Assessor audit trial of KAVACH 4.0 on the Kurduvadi-Boribial section, validating critical safety features under real conditions. KAVACH is an indigenous system designed to enhance train safety by preventing signal passing at danger and overspeeding.
