Vande Bharat Trains: Indian Railways is now going to bring a new revolution. With the construction of energy-rich Vande Bharat trains and the implementation of indigenous security technology ‘Kavach’, the journey of railways has become even safer and advanced. The Finance Ministry recently described these ambitious projects as part of the vision of Prime Minister Gati Shakti and Atmanirbhar Bharat. The ministry posted on social media that 68 Vande Bharat trains are already running fast. Now Indian Railways is selecting technology partners for the indigenous manufacture of energy-efficient Vande Bharat trains.
400 new Vande Bharat trains
Indian Railways will manufacture and develop 400 new generation Vande Bharat trains in the next three years. These trains will not only be energy efficient but will also provide a more comfortable experience to the passengers. Currently, 68 Vande Bharat Express trains are running in 15 zones, which are serving as 136 trains.

‘Kavach’ technology.. a new dimension in security
Taking railway security to new heights, indigenously developed ‘Kavach’ technology is being implemented. This state-of-the-art system is designed to prevent collisions and make train operations more efficient. Kavach technology has been implemented on 1,548 route kilometers.
South Central Railway- Lingampalli-Vikarabad-Wadi and Vikarabad-Bidar sections (265 Rkm), Manmad-Mudkhed-Dhone-Guntakal section (959 Rkm), Bidar-Parbhani section (241 Rkm).

Future plans
Work is underway to implement Kavach for 3,000 km on high-priority routes of the railways such as Delhi-Mumbai and Delhi-Howrah. Tenders have been invited for Kavach deployment on about 15,000 km of track. Apart from this, a plan has been finalized to install this technology in 10,000 locomotives.
Dream of self-reliant India and modern railways
The aim of these projects is not only to modernize the railways but also to establish India as a self-reliant and developed country. This change will not only make the Indian Railways energy-efficient. But it will also provide a more secure and world-class experience to the passengers.
