A latest communication sent by the Railway Ministry to the Cabinet Secretary said that Indian Railways plans to implement this advanced safety system structurally over the next five years.
Kavach is an automatic safety system that prevents train accidents.
Indian Railways is currently working on installing armor system on Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah routes.
The tender for an additional 6,000 km of track is expected to be issued by the end of this year.
Kavach, an Automatic Train Protection (ATP) system, has been designed by the Research Designs and Standards Organization (RDSO) in collaboration with three companies to enhance the safety of Indian Railways.
It uses radio frequency identification tags placed on tracks and railway yards to monitor track condition and train direction.
In case of an emergency, such as brake failure or the driver ignoring a signal, it is automatically activated and helps prevent an accident by stopping the locomotive.
