Accepted Answer

Indian Railways have prepared a National Rail Plan (NRP) for India – 2030. The Plan is to create a 'future ready' Railway system by 2030. The NRP is aimed to formulate strategies based on both operational capacities and commercial policy initiatives to increase modal share of the Railways in freight to 45%. Hence, statement 1 is not correct. Kavach is an Automatic Train Protection system which was developed indigenously by the Research Design and Standards Organisation (RDSO) in collaboration with the Indian industry. According to Indian Railways it is as a cost-effective Safety Integrity Level 4 (SIL-4) certified technology. Hence, statement 2 is not correct. Key activities involved in the implementation of Kavach include: o Installation of Station Kavach: Kavach is being installed at each and every station and block section along the tracks. These installations allow the system to monitor and manage train movements, ensuring safe operations. o RFID Tag Installation: Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) tags are placed throughout the entire track length to enable the Kavach system to track train positions and detect any potential safety issues along the route. Hence, statement 3 is correct.
