The New Delhi-Howrah railway line is now fully prepared to run trains at speeds of up to 160 km/h. To ensure safe operation at these speeds, it has been equipped with the modern Kavach Version 4.0 safety system. Work has been completed on the 184-km section from Chipyana Buzurg railway station in Ghaziabad to Tundla Junction. According to North Central Railway, this has become the first section in the country to be equipped with Kavach Version 4.0 safety.
This project, developed by the North Central Railway, is being considered a major step forward in the safety system of Indian Railways. According to railway officials, this is the first section in the country where Kavach version 4.0 has been successfully implemented for speeds up to 160 km per hour. This technology aims to prevent accidents caused by signal passing, collisions, and other human errors. Hundreds of passenger and freight trains pass through the Delhi-Howrah railway route daily. Therefore, the implementation of the Kavach system will improve both the safety and operational efficiency of this route.
North Central Railway Chief Public Relations Officer Shashikant Shekhar Tripathi stated that it will soon be used in the operation of other high-speed trains, including Vande Bharat, Rajdhani, Shatabdi, and Duronto. Under the project, modern communication systems and surveillance infrastructure have been developed across the entire section.
Armor safety system equipment has been installed at 22 railway stations and nine level crossings. The expansion of this system will not only enhance train safety but will also prove to be a crucial step towards future high-speed rail operations. Passengers on the busy Aligarh rail route will enjoy a safer and more reliable travel experience.
