Railway Modernisation

Modernising railway safety through Kavach and AI

Kavach is India’s indigenously developed Automatic Train Protection system designed to enhance railway safety by preventing Signal Passing at Danger, over-speeding, and train collisions through real-time monitoring and automatic braking. With implementation on over 2,200 route kilometres and the rollout of Kavach 4.0, Indian Railways is strengthening safety on high-density corridors. Complemented by AI-based surveillance, predictive maintenance, and advanced telecom infrastructure, these technology-led measures are reducing human error, enabling higher-speed operations, and building a safer, more reliable, and future-ready railway network.
