Strengthening Railway Safety with Indigenous Kavach Technology
Kavach is an indigenously developed Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system designed to enhance operational safety. It helps prevent Signal Passing at Danger (SPAD), automatically applies brakes when required and supports safer train movement by monitoring train operations.
The initiative is part of Indian Railways’ ongoing deployment of Kavach across its network to modernise train protection systems and enhance the safety and reliability of railway operations.
