- •Northern Railway successfully tested the indigenously developed Kavach (Automatic Train Protection System) on the 35 km Tughlakabad Junction Cabin (Delhi area) and Palwal section.
- •General Manager Shri Ashok Kumar Verma oversaw five critical tests: Signal Passed at Danger (SPAD), Head-on Collision, Rear-end Collision, Over-speeding on Loop Line, and Level Crossing Protection.
- •Kavach automatically stopped trains before red signals, prevented collisions, controlled over-speeding, and ensured safety at level crossings.
- •The system significantly enhances safety on one of Indian Railways' busiest corridors, improving operational safety, reliability, and passenger confidence.
- •Developed under Atmanirbhar Bharat, Kavach meets global SIL-4 safety standards, reduces reliance on imported technology, and promotes the Indian signaling industry.
Why It Matters: Kavach's successful testing marks a major safety upgrade for Indian Railways, enhancing operational reliability.
