An indigenously developed technology that can prevent two trains from colliding was showcased on Friday. What is Kavach, and how does it work? What's new?
Indian Railways plans to install Kavach across 2,000 rail route networks in 2022-23 and over 4,000-5,000 rail route networks every subsequent year. At the moment Kavach has been deployed on over 1,098 route km and 65 trains running under the South Central Railway after successful trial runs.
