In the wake of a tragic train collision in West Bengal, Indian Railways has intensified efforts to improve safety and modernize its operations. The implementation of the Kavach anti-collision system, with a budget allocation of Rs 1,547 crore in FY25, aims to cover 66,000 route kilometers by 2030. This initiative, phased across three stages, includes equipping locomotives with the system to prevent accidents. The data provided by Indian Railways indicates a significant decline in train accidents, showcasing the positive impact of safety measures. Moreover, the introduction of Vande Bharat sleeper trains for long-distance travel is revolutionizing passenger experience. Concurrently, the development of hydrogen-powered trains under the “Hydrogen for Heritage” project highlights Indian Railways' commitment to sustainability. With substantial investments in creating hydrogen-powered train sets and infrastructure, the railway sector in India is moving towards a greener future, aligning with zero-carbon emission goals and modernization efforts.
