Railways Allocates Rs.11.12 Bn for Kavach System in 2024-25

The Ministry of Railways has allocated ?11.12 billion for the Kavach safety system in the financial year 2024-25. This substantial investment underscores the government's commitment to enhancing rail safety and modernising the country's railway infrastructure.

Kavach, an advanced train protection and warning system, aims to prevent accidents by automatically controlling train speeds and providing real-time alerts to the crew. This initiative is part of a broader effort to reduce railway accidents and improve safety standards across the network.

The allocation will be used to deploy Kavach across various railway routes, focusing on high-density corridors and critical junctions. The system, developed indigenously, integrates technologies like Automatic Train Protection (ATP) and Train Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) to ensure a high level of operational safety.

The funding will also support the installation of necessary infrastructure and training programs for railway staff to effectively utilise the Kavach system. This move is expected to significantly enhance the reliability and efficiency of rail operations, while also contributing to the overall safety of passengers and goods.

Railway Minister Ashwini Vaishnaw highlighted that this investment aligns with the government's vision of modernising the railway network and making it safer. The Kavach system is a crucial step toward achieving these objectives, reflecting the administration's ongoing efforts to enhance transportation infrastructure and safety standards across the country.
